Yuk Chi is a published space lawyer, startup founder, On Deck alumnus, and former Army logistics officer. He is currently working on a stealth-mode project that will democratise access to orbit by uncomplicating the space mission planning process. He is also (in no particular order) a high school dropout, the survivor of a ruptured lung from his days in the Service, and a published science fiction author.
As a space lawyer, Yuk Chi focuses on space sustainability, orbital debris mitigation policy, and smallsat regulation. His work has been published by Springer Nature and the European Space Agency, and he is one of the youngest Singaporeans to speak at the United Nations.
Yuk Chi heads two research and advisory teams in the Space Generation Advisory Council, and recently led a group to advise the government of the Republic of Uganda on their draft national space policy and legislation. He is also currently working with Donaldson & Burkinshaw LLP, Singapore’s oldest law firm, to help them establish their groundbreaking new space law practice.
