Illustration for Outer Space and High-altitude Activities Act 2017

When you get an overseas launch licence, it must say when it starts and when it ends. The end date must be within 5 years of the start date. The licence ends on the expiry date, unless you renew it according to section 28, or it gets revoked or suspended earlier under section 30. You can renew your licence to make it last longer. If something goes wrong, the licence can end earlier. The licence has rules to follow so it can be renewed or ended safely.
