Belgium’s Drone Laws Revealed: 12 Essential Facts You Must Know (2025 Update)

Belgium has operated under the EU Drone Regulation since December 31, 2020, aligning national rules with the European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA). Enforcement is conducted by the Belgian Civil Aviation Authority (BCAA), part of the FPS Mobility and Transport (Federal Public Service Mobility and Transport). Drones are categorized by Open, Specific, and Certified categories, with the Open category limited to drones under 25 kg and operating in visual line of sight (VLOS). Open is subdivided into A1, A2, A3; A1 covers drones under 250 g (or C0/C1) or operations over people under strict limits; A2 allows sub-4 kg drones

Meteor Showers, Northern Lights & a Planet Parade – Aug 7–8 Night Sky Spectacle

The Perseids, active in early August and building toward their mid-August peak, can reach about 100 meteors per hour at maximum under dark skies, with bright blue fireballs from debris of Comet Swift–Tuttle. The 2025 Perseids peak will be hampered by moonlight: the Sturgeon Moon will be full on Aug 9, and the Moon will be 84–90% illuminated around Aug 11–13, washing out dim meteors and reducing the typical 50–75 meteors per hour to mostly bright fireballs. Eta Eridanids peak on the night of Aug 7–8, contributing about 3 meteors per hour at best. On Aug 7–8, Venus (mag −4.0)

Drone Laws in Budapest: What You MUST Know Before You Fly

Hungary follows EU Regulations 2019/945 and 2019/947, applying the Open, Specific, and Certified categories, with Open flights limited to 120 m altitude, Visual Line of Sight, and no flights over large assemblies. Hungary requires national registration for virtually all drones above toy criteria, insurance is mandatory, and any flight within Budapest’s built-up area requires a special permit obtained well in advance. As of January 1, 2024, Remote ID is mandatory for most drones, with Specific-category drones and class-marked Open-category drones broadcasting the operator’s registration number.

Inside Rwanda’s Internet Revolution: How the Nation Is Connecting Remote Villages and Launching Satellites

Rwanda’s first internet access occurred around 1996, and by 2000 there were about 5,000 users (less than 0.1% of the population). In 2004 Rwanda privatized Rwandatel and sold it to Terracom, opening the ISP market to competition. Between 2008 and 2010, Rwanda laid over 3,000 km of national fiber backbone across all 30 districts, linking to SEACOM, EASSy and TEAMS in 2009, driving international bandwidth costs from about $3,000 per Mbps in 2006 to roughly $25 per Mbps.

Drone Laws in Prague 2025: The Ultimate Guide to Safe & Legal Flying

The EU drone rules classify operations into Open, Specific, and Certified, with Open further divided into A1, A2, and A3 subcategories. In Prague, almost all areas lie within restricted airspace LKR9, requiring Specific category authorization for most flights. Prague Castle, Charles Bridge, and the downtown area fall under the no-fly LKP1 zone, with no drones allowed there unless extreme government clearance. Prague Airport’s CTR prohibits flights within 5.5 km of LKPR without ATC coordination and constrains flights inside CTR to 100 m AGL or below.
