Answer

For the period of 1 July 2025 to 22 July 2025 I refer the member to my response to 35851 (2025). From 22 July 2025 no payload permits have been revoked or suspended. Four payload permits have been varied. These were for Synspective (13/08/25), Synspective (13/08/25), Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (04/10/25), and the University of Auckland (10/02/26). Variations were a result of permit holders either applying for variations or agreeing to proposed variations.
