The Isle of Man Government is hoping to build on the success of its aircraft and ship registers with a satellite register.
It's an idea the Department of Economic Development is looking into at the moment.
Tenders are being invited to investigate how the Island can set up a Space Objects Register.
The United Kingdom already has one and it's hoped the Island can piggy-back on the UK legislation.
Minister Allan Bell says the registries themselves don't bring in money, but they do bring in a lot of related business. [Play audio file below]
