Dr Maria Pozza is exploring a frontier of outer space that not many have ventured into before. She is the country's only specialised space lawyer - dealing with the contractual obligations of those leaving earth for both commercial of military intelligence purposes. There's no shortage of work these days but international law in this realm is still not clear. Dr Pozza, the director of Gravity Lawyers, is often fielding calls from international space agencies and legislative development committees. She'll be speaking at this year's International Conference of Women Engineers and Scientists, to be held in Auckland next month.
