	Space law - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Space law is an area of the law that encompasses national and international law governing activities in outer space.
		The inception of the field of space law began with the launching in October of 1957 of the world's first satellite, the Union of Soviet Socialist Republic's Sputnik.
		The advent of commercial space activities beyond the scope of the satellite communications industry, and the development of many commercial spaceports, is leading many countries to consider how to regulate private space activities.

	Air and Space Law
		Space law developed into a topic which was to be covered frequently by Soviet researchers in Russia and its satellite states.
		The Outer Space Treaty dates from 1967, an elaboration resulted in the 1979 Moon Agreement in which international use of the moon and exploration of its resources in particular were addressed.
		Today's space law is one of the newest branches on the tree of international law and follows developments in space technology.

		Space law is a legal framework in order to achieve goals which are connected with the exploration and utilisation of outer space and in order to avoid undesired conditions related to space.
		Space law contains all legal norms which are applied to the exploration and use of outer space.
		States, which launch objects into space, let launch, offer their territory or their plants for launches, are in principle absolutely responsible for damages to property and body, which such an article on earth, in the air or in space, causes.

	Chapter 30 -- Space Law (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23)
		A concept such as national sovereignty is benign in space, but the inhabitants of Earth still carry on their everyday existence with wars over which boundary is correct, which people should rule a piece of land, and which people should die because they happen to occupy the land.
		During the early days of the space program consensus was much easier to obtain and with this consensus came some of the most far-reaching international agreements ever formed.
		The Outer Space Treaty states that space is the "province of all mankind." Space is available for the exploration and the use of everyone; no one nation can restrict the access of space to any other nation.

	Existing Space Law Concepts
		Space Law requirements have been proposed by the United Nations for the human settlement, scientific discovery, and industrial explorations on the terrestrial moon and on Mars.
		International law may set the framework for outer space law, but when it comes to governing a large number of individuals in space, with manufacturing and mining occurring in remote areas, a different set of laws for regulating relationships will be needed.
		Even when self-sufficient colonies exist, the basis of the laws that we have evolved on earth should be the basis for life in space, to ensure the protection of earth citizens, wherever they travel to these colonies, and to ensure only minimum or necessary exploitation of Mars, the asteroids, or eventually other planets.

	The Law of War in Space
		The former law applies to conflicts that the belligerents themselves may not regard as "wars." [n133] The latter law is of relatively recent origin and is expressed most authoritatively in Article 2(4), and Chapter VII of the United Nations Charter.
		If it did, then not only would such "law" never have achieved the force of law in the first place, [n175] but the jus in bello would prohibit all means and methods of war for the simple reason that any one of them are apt to produce suffering to some extent.
		As distinguished from "Astrolaw," [n293] space law is limited to "the regulation of those activities by States in outer space which are, by nature, essentially international." [n294] This remains true despite the rise of both public and private efforts at commercialization of space.

		Space lawyers, however, insist that their immediate purpose is simple: to preserve outer space from the lawless free-for-all that characterized exploration and colonization here on Earth.
		The Outer Space Treaty of 1967 provides the basis of all space law with its clear decree that no nation can claim ownership to any part of it, and all nations must agree to its peaceful use.
		"Space law became what it did because Sputnik went up and all of a sudden there were no rules for the game we found ourselves in," says Joanne Irene Gabrynowicz, professor of space law at the University of Mississippi and director of the National Remote Sensing and Space Law Center.

		Tonight's episode of The Space Show, a radio/podcast program, is devoted to a panel discussion on space law topics, in particular space property rights.
		One speaker also noted that international law accepts a "zone of safety" around oil rigs in international waters, and there is also international recognition of "economic exclusion zones" around countries' coastlines to protect fishing resources.
		The speakers also connected the discussion of the Moon and property rights to other aspects of space law, such as satellites in geosynchronous orbit or experiments conducted onboard the ISS, where private property rights are also respected.

	Space Law Probe: Is Space Pork?
		Others are more likely to favor space spending if their state or congressional district benefits from space appropriations.
		If you ask the Professor if space is pork (and I did), he will quickly respond (in inimitable lawyerly fashion), "sometimes," and then refer you to his writings about "moneysaving and capability-improving" ideas for NASA.
		He strongly supports private space ventures and calls for a leaner and meaner space agency in which Mike Griffin does "some serious restructuring and refocusing..." The professor emphasizes, "I think the focus on exploration, as opposed to pure science (or pork) is vital to humanity.

		Space enthusiasts have advocated such mining for decades, but participants at a January NASA conference concluded that a robotic mining mission to the moon is needed to prove it would work.
		Another lunar issue to be addressed is that space law needs an update, says Frans von der Dunk of the International Institute of Air and Space Law in the Netherlands.
		The 1967 Outer Space Treaty allows "exploiting resources without properly owning the 'real estate' underlying it," says von der Dunk, but rules don't exist for licensing private firms or exercising legal control over their employees on the moon.

		Unfortunately existing space law consists mostly of some inter-governmental treaties negotiated during the cold war, which are quite inappropriate for business.
		This is quite different from other transport industries, such as shipping and air transport which are governed mainly by commercial law, and liability for any damage caused by an accident is borne by commercial insurance companies.
		In trying to promote the growth of commercial space industries, the US government must overcome these built-in biases, and encourage the formation of new structures and cultures that are well-suited to the realities of the commercial marketplace".

		In the long run, we might find, as Libya did when they exploited their ancient underground water, that there is a limited and meager inventory of accessible water which would be at odds with the volume of fluid needed to shape exo-industrial operations for making Mars user-friendly to the first generation of earthlings.
		Therefore, space law for the protection of vital environmental resources, especially water and petroleum, must be the single most important part of framework legislation for all participants.[8]
