The NPOC Austria acts as an interface between ECSL and persons interested in space law in Austria (ECSL). It is coordinated by Prof Irmgard Marboe at the Department of European, International and Comparative Law of the University of Vienna and supported by the Austrian Research Promotion Agency and the Austrian Ministry for Transport, Innovation and Technology (About NPOC).

Its main objective is the promotion and development of space law in Austria. This includes a variety of activities such as the organization of conferences, the elaboration of space law-related publications, the teaching of space law as well as the publication of an annual Space Law Newsletter (Activities). In addition, the NPOC informs about recent space law-related developments (News) and upcoming events (Events) and provides information on legal texts and literature relating to the exploration and use of outer space as well as a link collection on space in general (Services).
