This book addresses the policy implications for all current participants in the Space Station'e Era. Naturally cooperation on such scale engenders myriad legal difficulties. This book divides its discussion of these into three parts, dealing with a constitutional perspective of the treaty-making process in the space field, the optimum framework for management of the US/International Space Station and a presentation of the range and complexity of the commercial issues involved. The third part of the book deals with the macrocosm within which space station as specific suites of hardware must operate.
This book explores the international law and policy relating to space stations in terms of specific barriers to utilization and considers methods or policies designed to overcome perceived barriers. It deals with the institutional possibilities and alternatives for space station ownership.
As space continues to attract substantial public and private investment and has become ever more active, the third edition of this book has been updated to cover recent developments. This includes the legal bases of UN Resolution 76/3, the Space3030 Agenda, which envisages ‘space as a driver of sustainable development’ and sets out an extensive programme for the future. The work also takes account of adaptations and augmentations to basic space treaties. It examines the increasing commercialisation of space in areas such as space tourism and space mining, for which four states have already adopted relevant legislation. The impact of new technologies such as satellite constellations and micro-satellites are also scrutinised. At a time when space tourism is available to those who can afford it and when the moon will shortly be revisited with a prospect of permanent bases, this third edition provides a firm base for the next generation of space lawyers. As with previous editions, the work draws from governmental, international organisational and other authoritative sources as well as the relevant literature in the field. The book will be an essential and comprehensive resource for students, academics and researchers as well as space agencies, governments and space-active companies. It will also be of value to technical operatives and managers who need to know the legal context within which they work.
Currently, perhaps the most complicated and challenging undertaking in outer space is the building of the International Space Station, the ISS. The recent decision to use the ISS also as a facility for pre-commercial research and development in a microgravity environment, inviting commercial enterprise on board, only enhanced such complications and challenges. As a consequence, the major question arises to what extent these are held in check by a sound and effective legal and regulatory regime, e.g. pertaining to criminal liability or intellectual property rights. The present book offers the first overview of applicable law and regulation which is not merely superficial, as well as some directions for future legislative and regulatory developments, written by a number of highly reputed experts in space law. The analysis, finally, is with a clear focus on the European situation in view of the particularities which increasing ESA and EU involvement in space activities bring with them.
The Handbook of Space Law addresses the legal and regulatory aspects of activities in outer space and major space applications from a comprehensive and structured perspective. It fundamentally addresses the dichotomy between the state-oriented characte
Brings together in a single collection all international and national space regulations and related materials of interest. Although the United States was the most dominant nation during the early development of space law, a growing number of nations have since contributed their national law to the field of space jurisprudence and increasingly, non-U.S. law has been added. To reflect this development, the title has been changed to Space law, a title which more appropriately reflects the comprehensive content of the volumes.
