UN registration
UN registrationREGISTERED by US
Registration documentST/SG/SER.E/964
Registration metadata as reproduced in GCAT from the UN Register (ST/SG/SER.E and A/AC.105/INF series). Registration is a self-assertion by the state of registry; under Registration Convention Art. II a state of registry must be a launching state.
Launching State attributionJOINT & SEVERAL
A State qualifies if it launches, procures the launch, or the launch occurs from its territory or facility. Status is fixed at launch and does not transfer with the operator.
LimbStateTierBasis
State of registry US T1 OFFICIAL Registered with the UN by US in ST/SG/SER.E/964
Registration Convention Art. II — a State of registry must be a launching State
Launch agency US T3 DERIVED Launch conducted by SpaceX (US)
Outer Space Treaty Art. VII, Liability Convention Art. I(c) and Registration Convention Art. I(a) — State which launches a space object
Facility US T3 DERIVED Launched from NASA John F. Kennedy Space Center, Florida, a facility of US
Outer Space Treaty Art. VII, Liability Convention Art. I(c) and Registration Convention Art. I(a) — State from whose facility an object is launched
Territory US T3 DERIVED Launch site Air Force Eastern Test Range, Florida, USA is on the territory of US (operated by US) — OAR launch-site mapping (CelesTrak SATCAT site code)
Outer Space Treaty Art. VII, Liability Convention Art. I(c) and Registration Convention Art. I(a) — State from whose territory an object is launched
Procurement US T4 INFERRED Inferred from owner nationality: SpaceX (Seattle) (US)
Outer Space Treaty Art. VII, Liability Convention Art. I(c) and Registration Convention Art. I(a) — State which procures the launching (INFERRED, not established)
A State qualifies if it launches, procures the launching, or the launch is from its territory or facility — more than one State can qualify for one object, and launching States are jointly and severally liable (Liability Convention Art. V). Launching-State status is fixed at launch and does not transfer when operators change. Tier 4 claims are inferred from owner nationality and are the weakest: rideshare procurement through integrators is genuinely contestable.
