University of Pennsylvania Press Heavenly Ambitions
Book SynopsisIn Heavenly Ambitions, Joan Johnson-Freese lays out her vision of the future of space as a frontier where nations cooperate, and military activity is circumscribed by arms control treaties that would allow no one nation to dominate-just as no one nation's military dominates the world's oceans.Trade Review"[Johnson-Freese] rightly discusses at length the emerging U.S.-China space relationship. . . . One of the most convincing parts of the book is devoted to the risks of miscommunication between Washington and Beijing on their respective strategic intentions in space." * Survival: Global Politics and Strategy *"A thoroughly researched and praiseworthy book." * Astronomy Now *"[Heavenly Ambitions] provides an understanding of the almost indecipherable national security space bureaucracy and all its stakeholders, [and] is the first work to measure these triumphant images against the realities of technology and politics." * Quest *"A detailed, well-written, and accessible book." * Geopolitics *"Heavenly Ambitions should be read by everyone who makes policy, or who thinks seriously about policy. By highlighting dangers such as confusing desirability with feasibility and ignoring the increasingly global nature of space, Johnson-Freese points out key pitfalls of the current U.S. approach to space policy, and suggests a more productive way forward." * David Wright, Union of Concerned Scientists *"Joan Johnson-Freese clearly identifies the present state of America's space program, the critical issues and challenges the United States faces, the urgent need for action, and the course the United States should follow in its future endeavors in space. Heavenly Ambitions is a book that should be read and heeded by all those involved in the making of this nation's policies in space." * George Abbey, former director, NASA Johnson Space Center *Table of Contents1.

IGI Global Promoting Productive Cooperation Between Space
Book SynopsisA major non-technical challenge of space activities is ensuring productive cooperation, communication, and understanding between the engineers who design the mission and the space lawyers who cover its relevant legal aspects. Though both groups usually attain some level of understanding, it is only achieved after many years of experience in the space industry and through repeated contact with topics relevant to their projects. A basic understanding of the most important legal and technical aspects acquired earlier in their careers can facilitate better cooperation and more efficient development of space projects. Promoting Productive Cooperation Between Space Lawyers and Engineers is a pivotal reference source that provides vital insights into basic legal and technical topics and challenges that occur while planning and conducting typical space activities. The book uses high-profile space missions as examples and highlights the major technical aspects of these missions and the legal issues applied to these missions. While highlighting topics such as planetary settlements, policy perspectives, and suborbital spaceflight, this publication is ideally designed for lawyers, engineers, academicians, students, and professionals.

Nova Science Publishers Inc Liability for Commercial Outer Space Activities:
Book SynopsisThe book responds to the dissonance between the increase of commercial outer space activities and the absence of any legal framework in India. While holding a great promise, international space law remains a stable principle that the launching country is liable for any damage caused by outer space activities. The quantity of risk increases more when outer space is used not only by the sovereign states but also by non-governmental entities for commercial benefit. Both the municipal and international law accepted that money damages should compensate the harm. Therefore, allocation of the liability must be shared by the actual wrong doer. State practices are developed for the allocation of liability with non-governmental entities. The argument attacks the substance and structure of space policy in India, undermining claims as to its effectiveness and even sustainability. In responding to these challenges, this book uses analytical and comparative methods with the dynamic processes such as interview (structured and unstructured) to address the central question of basis and fundamental framework of space law in India. The objective of the thesis is to develop a plausible normative framework in India relating to commercial outer space activities. This normative framework provides a platform for exiting international legal norm and practices, as well as the basis of alternative understanding of international space law and the potential response to those problems, which are coherent and consistent with the use of outer space commercially by any country. The book offers three inter related conclusions. First, it identifies the international legal norms as the basis for the development of national legal framework in India. Secondly, it demonstrates those state practices developed by space-advanced nations who adopted national space legislation for the promotion and control of commercial outer space activities, and provides a useful legal framework background for adoption of domestic legal framework in India. Thirdly, it develops a normative framework for the commercial outer space activities in India.Table of ContentsPreface; Introduction to International Space Law; Commercial Space Liability: Why it is Important; Scientific and Technological Development of Space Research in India; Law and Policy: Space Governance System in India; Framing of National Space Legislation in India; Index.

Intersentia Ltd Exemptions for the Non-Performance of Contractual
Book SynopsisThis book explores the international jurisprudence on Article 79 of the 1980 United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods (CISG), which is, perhaps, one of its most contentious provisions. The author's premise is that Article 79 - which concerns exemptions for contractual non-performance due to an "impediment" beyond a party's control - should be interpreted autonomously, that is, as an international norm, without reference to domestic legal concepts and principles. To this end, he considers the application of Article 79 by courts and arbitral tribunals across a number of signatory states. The examination of Article 79 provides the focus and the depth of analysis necessary to draw firm conclusions regarding the development and treatment of an important, but problematic, legal doctrine. This doctrine is common, in various guises, to all the major legal regimes of the world. By studying the treatment of Article 79 by the courts and arbitral tribunals of various states, differences in doctrine and case law are discerned. Disparities in the national treatment of Article 79 are also examined within the context of globalization and the advent of international trade. The extent of conceptual differences towards the doctrine of excuses for non-performance helps to determine whether the CISG's goal of sales law harmonization and uniformity is ultimately achievable. The answer is of crucial importance to the international commercial parties involved in the burgeoning realm of global trade.Table of ContentsPreface Chapter 1.

Edward Elgar Publishing Ltd Handbook of Space Law
Book Synopsis'If you want to own only one book on space law the newly published Handbook of Space Law, edited by Professor Frans von der Dunk, is it!'- Air and Space Law 'Professor Frans von der Dunk has never been threatened by modesty. Most striking is, however, that he always follows words with deeds. It is true for this Handbook of Space Law, which is indeed a particular accomplishment.'- Kai-Uwe Schrogl, Head of the ESA Policies Department, European Space Agency (ESA)'It really is a fantastic book analyzing all the relevant matters.'- Sagi Kfir, General Counsel, Deep Space Industries'[A] defining compendium in the space law lexicon.'- Sam Peterson, Operations Manager, European Space Agency (ESA)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 character of international space law and the increasing commercialization and privatization of space activities. The book focuses on international space law in the broadest sense of the word, not only including the UN-based space treaties and international customary (space) law, but also the many specialized regimes such as those applicable to the international satellite organizations, the International Space Station, the international trade and the security-sensitive aspects of space technology exports, the financing of space ventures and environmental concerns. The novelty of this holistic approach to space law notably includes the profound and ever-increasing commercialization of space activities and the attendant involvement of the private sector in such activities. This authoritative book thus presents a unique standard work of reference for anyone interested in studying or researching the legal and regulatory aspects of space activities and their major applications in depth. Offering the most comprehensive and holistic analysis on legal and regulatory aspects of space activities and major space applications to date this Handbook will be of particular interest to students in space law higher education, public international law, researchers (including JSD and PhD students) of space law and practitioners in the major sectors of space activities.Contributors: C.

WilliamsTrade Review'The intellectual frontlines of the coming skirmishes along this new frontier will doubtless be populated by the readers of this Handbook of Space Law. Just like the book offers a multi-angular approach to the various main issues involved, the increasing diversity and audacity of the entrepreneurs in the emerging space arena will require a matching multi-dimensional cast of space lawyers.' --(Taken from the Foreword by Rusty Schweickart, Apollo 9)'This handbook will - with all these merits - become a leading publication in the field of space law for retrieving information, analysis as well as inspiration. Editor, assistant editor and the further ten contributors have rendered an outstanding service to space law.' --(Prof. Dr. Kai-Uwe Schrogl, Zeitschrift fur Luft- und Weltraumrecht)'Offering the most comprehensive and up-to-date analysis on legal and regulatory aspects of space activities and major space applications, this Handbook of Space Law provides fundamental guidance to those who are interested in the legal aspects of mankind's main activities in outer space. The handbook will be of particular interest to students, researchers, lawyers, and policy-makers in space law in general or in particular areas thereof. Due to the highly dynamic nature of space technology and applications, it is possible that new legal and regulatory issues will arise after the appearance of this handbook. In the further examination of such new issues, the comprehensive scope, the multidimensional and comparative approach, and the forward-looking perspective adopted in this study should be encouraged.' --(Chinese Journal of Comparative Law)Table of ContentsContents: Foreword 1.

Edward Elgar Publishing Ltd Commercial Uses of Space and Space Tourism: Legal
Book SynopsisCommercial Uses of Space and Space Tourism combines the perspectives of academics, policy makers and major industry players around three central themes: the international legal challenges posed by the dramatic changes to the spacefaring landscape; the corresponding legal and regulatory responses to these challenges at the national level; and topical questions of global space governance.Chapters cover emerging activities in commercial spacefaring, including space tourism and space transportation, and identify the regulatory issues that may arise in the absence of a clear boundary between airspace and outer space. By taking a pragmatic, inductive approach, the book aims to breathe new life into the discussion of the air?space boundary, while informing readers about the many exciting recent developments in commercial spacefaring.This book will appeal to lecturers, academics and students in space law and air law, as well as policy makers and industry practitioners involved in the regulation of orbital and suborbital commercial spaceflight, both manned and unmanned.Contributors include: P. De Man, M. Gold, A. Harrington, C. Hearsey, T. Herman, A. Kerrest, J.-B. Marciacq, J.-F. Mayence, W. Munters, D.P. Murray, K. Nyman-Metcalf, L.J. Smith, A. Soucek, J. Stubbs, S. Wood, J. WoutersTrade Review'The paradigm shift to commercial and non-governmental space activities is still evolving and requires more than ever a robust and reliable legal framework. Wouters, De Man, Hansen and their contributors present in this book the most accurate assessment and the most appropriate approaches to regulate and at the same time to foster this paradigm shift. The particular value of the book lies in its approach not to abandon the current legal framework for a quick-win and first-come first-served strategy but to carefully develop space law further, maintaining its key principles and opening-up new opportunities.' --Kai-Uwe Schrogl, International Institute of Space Law (IISL)'This book provides a cutting-edge perspective on the issues surrounding commercial uses of space.

Edward Elgar Publishing Ltd The Protection of Intellectual Property Rights in
Book SynopsisWhile outer space itself remains out of reach for most of us, the results of space activities and developments from space technology are becoming increasingly integrated in our daily lives. Recognising the importance of these technologies, this book explores how existing legal protection methods may be enforced if the unauthorised use takes place beyond conventional territorial borders in outer space. In this detailed and considered study, Tosaporn Leepuengtham examines the problems which may arise in terms of the protection of intellectual property rights in space activities under two national jurisdictions; the US and the UK. She explores the conflict between intellectual property law's scheme of private exclusive rights and the fundamental principle of space law, which is the common heritage of mankind. Furthermore, this book offers potential solutions to this conflict, including suggestions for best practice implementation of law and policy recommendations for balancing and better protecting the interest of rights holders and the public in space activities. Raising pertinent questions, it eloquently provides a springboard for future study. Novel and engaging, this book will appeal to scholars and students of Intellectual Property Law and various related topics including patent and copyright law, space law, private international law and technology law. Government agencies, policy makers and officials, in particular those responsible for issuing and implementing law, regulations and policies governing space industry will also find a wealth of knowledge herein.Trade Review‘This book, which concentrates on the protection of patents and copyrights, is well structured, easily readable and faithfully reports the status of academic debate, highlighting and arguing for the authors’ viewpoints in a concise and clear manner . . . Tosaporn Leepuengtham’s book will certainly convince readers with its solid review and analysis and well-argued observations and -- explanations. ’– Zeitschrift für Luft- und WeltraumrechtTable of ContentsContents Introduction 1.

Globe Law and Business Ltd Outer Space Law: Legal Policy and Practice,
Book SynopsisThe potential use of space for military purposes has, since the end of the Second World War, been intrinsically linked to the development of space technology and space flight. The political relevance of outer space continues to be recognised by nations, particularly the strategic benefit of Earth observation from outer space as a national security tool. However, the dual-use potential of many space applications increasingly blurs the distinction between the military and non-military uses of space. In fact, many States have openly declared their willingness to protect their space assets by military means and some have even described outer space as a war-fighting domain. Non-State entities are becoming more and more involved in outer space activities, including the use of satellites for navigation purposes, the transportation of supplies to the International Space Station and the offering of tourist flights into outer space. Private operators have significantly increased activity in the launch of satellites and in 2021 no less than three private space companies (Virgin Galactic, Blue Origin and SpaceX) conducted successful space tourist flights. Today in all space-faring countries, the space industry contributes to national GDP and supports the labour force. It also serves as a catalyst for technological advancement and productivity growth, and has become an integral part of the day-to-day lives of people around the world. Consequently, the socio-economic benefits of space technology (in particular satellite technology) have made the development of space programmes an increasing necessity for developing States. Outer space has become a congested environment. The involvement of private actors, specifically, has given rise to a number of legal issues, including questions pertaining to liability, insurance, space debris, human rights and property rights in space. To address these legal uncertainties, the existing chapters in the second edition of Outer Space Law: Legal Policy and Practice have been updated significantly and several new chapters have been added dealing with topical issues including: the regulation of satellite navigation systems, and satellite constellations; the application of human rights in outer space settlements; the exploration and colonisation of outer space; and planetary protection. The second edition of Outer Space Law: Legal Policy and Practice remains aimed at readers looking for a single title to understand the key issues relevant to the space sector, by also emphasising the practical application of those issues. The book will be specifically relevant to legal practitioners, academics and State departments primarily working in the space arena, as well as to those in other related sectors such as IT and media, insurance and political science. Edited by Yanal Abul Failat, lawyer at the international law firm Fasken, and Professor Anél Ferreira-Snyman, a professor of law specialising in international space law at the University of South Africa, the book includes contributions by leading experts from space agencies, space venturers, lawyers, economists, insurers, academics and financiers.Trade ReviewThe second edition with the new chapters is a must to have for every space law practitioner. -- Mohamed AmaraIt is a pleasure to see a table of contents, which does not go the traditional paths of dealing with space law, but lists one after the other exciting topics, which touch upon key questions, space law practitioners and also space law makers deal with: licensing private activities, property and ownership, regulation of satellite constellations, financing space activities, environmental responsibility, international trade aspects, cyber operations or evidence from space in cases before international courts and tribunals. More than twenty contributions, and all of them are interesting to read. -- Prof. Dr. Kai-Uwe Schrogl * ZLW, German Journal of Air and Space Law *Again, contributions are provided from a pleasing combination of space venturers, practitioners, and academics…. Furthermore, this second edition covers contemporary NewSpace topics such as universe exploration and colonisation, planetary protection, regulation of satellite systems and of satellite constellations, financing of space activities, and the extra-territorial application of human rights instruments in outer space settlements. -- Theunis KotzéTable of ContentsPreface to the first edition 7 Yanal Abul Failat LXL LLP Anél Ferreira-Snyman University of South Africa Preface 9 Yanal Abul Failat Fasken Martineau LLP Anél Ferreira-Snyman University of South Africa Foreword 11 Tanja Masson-Zwaan International Institute of Air and Space Law, Leiden University International law governing outer space activities 13 Christopher Johnson Secure World Foundation; Georgetown University Law Center National law governing outer space activities 31 Yun Zhao University of Hong Kong (HKU) Delimitation of outer space and Earth orbits 49 Olavo de Oliveira Bittencourt Neto Catholic University of Santos Military activities in outer space 65 Anél Ferreira-Snyman University of South Africa Licensing private outer space activities 95 Yanal Abul Failat Fasken Martineau LLP Property and ownership in outer space 129 Wian Erlank North-West University Universe exploration and colonisation 161 Thomas Cheney AstrobiologyOU and the OU Law School, The Open University Planetary protection 175 Michelle LD Hanlon University of Mississippi School of Law & Center for Air and Space Law The exploitation of natural resources in outer space 199 Philip De Man University of Leuven Regulation of artificial satellites 219 Christopher J Newman Northumbria University Regulation of remote sensing activities 239 Carlo Golda Maria Elena De Maestri University of Genoa Legal regulation of satellite navigation systems 271 Elizabeth Tiarks Northumbria University Regulation of satellite constellations 285 Lauren Napier Christopher J Newman Northumbria University Regulation of the space tourism sector 301 Yanal Abul Failat Fasken Martineau LLP Anél Ferreira-Snyman University of South Africa Financing space activities 347 Mathieu Luinaud William Ricard Luigi Scatteia PwC Advisory France, Space Practice Intellectual property law in the context of climate change 371 Anja Nakarada Pecˇujlic´ EnduroSat Environmental responsibility for space debris 391 Anél Ferreira-Snyman University of South Africa International trade aspects of outer space activities 429 Sina Kimiagar Chiara C Klaui Thomas J McCarthy Akin Gump Strauss Hauer & Feld LLP Brad Powell Relativity Space, Inc Cyber operations in outer space 461 Heather A Harrison Dinniss Swedish Defence University The extraterritorial application of human rights instruments in outer space settlements 475 Gerrit Ferreira North-West University Anél Ferreira-Snyman University of South Africa Evidence from space in cases before international courts and tribunals 505 Damian M Bielicki Kingston University London Dispute resolution 519 Nicholas Gould Fenwick Elliott LLP About the authors 547 Index 557 About Globe Law and Business 575

ISTE Ltd Space Law: Legal Framework for Space Activities
Book SynopsisOuter space is subject to a legal framework; there is a set of rules specifically dedicated to outer space and to the activities carried out there. These rules have developed since 1957, the year the first artificial satellite was launched. Major changes have also affected the technology used and the actors involved, as well as the domains concerned by the exploration and use of outer space. Space Law will lay out the progressive densification of the legal framework that is applicable to outer space and the activities that are carried out there. Without claiming to be exhaustive, the aim of this book is to present the main primary sources of space law, its main principles, the diversity of its fields of application and the challenges and issues that the development of space activities inevitably raises.Table of ContentsIntroduction xvThomas LECLERC Part 1 The Main Sources of Space Law 1 Chapter 1 History, the Treaties, the Resolutions

Edward Elgar Publishing Ltd A Research Agenda for Space Policy
Book SynopsisElgar Research Agendas outline the future of research in a given area. Leading scholars are given the opportunity to explore their subject in provocative ways, and map out the potential directions of travel. They are relevant but also visionary.Space policy is now a top priority in international relations. This timely Research Agenda takes the definition of space policy itself as an object of analysis rather than as an unquestioned premise. It presents the multi-faceted spectrum of elements combined within space policy which are crucially relevant to security, welfare and modern society.Chapters demonstrate why space matters and how space policy research has reflected this during the past half-century. Expert international contributors set out a forward-looking research agenda for the 2020s, identifying key problems and conflicts related to the topic and exploring policy, regulatory approaches and diplomatic mechanisms to reach possible solutions. The types of actors and institutions playing a key role in space policy are also examined through an interdisciplinary lens. Scholars and students of political science, international relations and law will find this to be a sophisticated, cutting-edge resource for analysing and understanding the multi-dimensional impacts of space policy.Trade Review‘The space industry is rapidly evolving and as a result, space policy plays an increasingly important and impactful role. The Research Agenda for Space Policy covers pressing topics which have been at the center of the space policy discourse and will continue to be in the 2020s. Esteemed global space policy shapers have contributed to this work, and it is a must read for students, academics, industry, and anyone with an interest in the future of space policy.’ -- Nobu Okada, Founder and CEO Astroscale, Japan‘Space activities today are critical to the daily lives of billions of people. Yet the field of space policy, how governments make decisions governing space activities, is ill-defined with many open questions. A Research Agenda for Space Policy aims to fill this lacuna with a comprehensive look at space policy issues that reflect the diversity of views in the international space community. This scholarly work provides a useful framework for asking – “what are we doing in space and why?” -- ’– Scott Pace, George Washington University, former Executive Secretary of the National Space Council, USTable of ContentsContents: Introduction: A research agenda for space policy in the 2020s xxi 1 Outer space as a global commons and the role of space law 1 Olavo de O.

Edward Elgar Publishing Ltd Space Insurance and the Law: Maximizing Private
Book SynopsisThis astute and comprehensive book provides in-depth analysis of the space sector with an ‘insurance as governance‘ approach. Chapters highlight and examine the key aspects of this important subject including space tourism, risk mitigation and insurance requirements.Considering the role of space insurers working across national boundaries, this book addresses the ability of insurers to fill an existing regulatory void and describes the actions they can take to improve their capability to execute that governance function. The author also gives a fresh and contemporary insight into topics such as the influences of international space law, international air law and US domestic space law. Insightful and discerning, Space Insurance and the Law is ideal for space insurance professionals and those with an interest in space entrepreneurship, international space law and the commercial space industry.Trade Review‘Dr. Harrington has assembled a thorough treatise on space law and insurance, with exceptional detail on the foundations of risk management. Her analysis of insurance as governance, particularly with respect to treaty compliance and national sovereignty explores the details of insurance contracts and their benefits and limitations. Finally, her bibliography and footnotes provide a remarkable resource for students and practitioners alike.’Table of ContentsContents: Preface 1. Introduction to Space Insurance and the Law 2.

Springer International Publishing AG Power, State and Space: Conceptualizing,
Book SynopsisThis book explains on what basis a nation can claim the status of space power, what are the criteria differentiating a space power from “lesser” space actors, and how their spacepower can be empirically measured and assessed. To this end, it sets forth a comprehensive multidisciplinary framework to enable a dynamic comparison of space actors and of the pathways that lead them in and out of the space powers’ club. Drawing upon a critical review of the existing literature, it conceptualises spacepower as a form of state power based on the complex interplay between the two defining dimensions of stateness, namely the well-studied dimension of capacity and the often neglected yet exceedingly important dimension of autonomy. The book demonstrates that only actors possessing high levels of both autonomy and capacity qualify as space powers. Different levels of either capacity or autonomy produce other types of space actors, including skilled spacefarers, self-reliant spacefarers, primed spacefarers, and emerging space actors. This innovative conceptual framework is complemented by an in-depth comparative assessment that collects and processes a large amount of hard-to-find data on the most active global space actors and aggregates multiple indicators into a compound, non-hierarchical index of space power visualised in the form of a matrix.Table of ContentsIntroduction.- Conceptualising Space Actors: State And Power In Space.- Measuring Space Actors: A Methodological Framework.- Comparing Space Actors: An Empirical Assessment.

Brill Space Law in a Networked World
Book SynopsisAccess to space technology has changed dramatically in the past 10 years. Traditionally, access to space capabilities required dedicated receivers and significant investment. With the advent of new information technologies that incorporate and disseminate the benefits of space directly to users, access to space technology is no longer so exclusive. As the seamless delivery of space capabilities, from navigation and position to data flows, makes it difficult to distinguish space capabilities from other information infrastructures, legal structures developed to govern space technologies are being forced into contact with a variety of other legal structures. Legal questions abound as new markets, innovative technologies, and increased data access emerge, and the lex specialis of space accommodates these trends. This book investigates how traditional space law is developing as space technology enters the daily lives of individuals everywhere.Table of ContentsForeword List of Figures and Tables Notes on Contributors 1 A Network of Governance P.J.

Brill Rights of Individuals in an Earth Observation and
Book SynopsisNew Space technologies, Earth observation and satellite navigation in particular, have proven to be invaluable drivers of sustainable development, thus contributing to the protection of several human rights (the “Good”). At the same time, however, New Space technologies raise concerns for the right to privacy (the “Bad”), and face a number of challenges posed by hostile cyber operations (the “Ugly”). Dr. Arianna Vettorel analyzes the relevant international, European and domestic legal frameworks and highlights the need for several innovative approaches and reforms, in a transnational and bottom-up perspective, in order to maximize the Good, and minimize the Bad and the Ugly, of New Space technologies.Table of ContentsPreface and Acknowledgments Abbreviations Table of Cases Table of

Pentagon Press Space Commercialisation: Prospects, Challenges
Book SynopsisConsiderable prospecting has been done in outer space to find natural resources and mineral deposits that can be excavated. Commercial space travel and tourism have been found technically feasible and economically viable. So is the enthusiasm for demographic migration to celestial bodies. Governments are not inclined to invest in commercial development and allied ventures. So, private players are ready, having harnessed technology and mustered funds and enough guts to take risks. Thus, the commercial scene in outer space activities is brimming with anticipation.The challenge is legal. Space law brooks no sovereignty on celestial bodies; private appropriation of celestial resources is not permitted and profit accruals from commercial activities in outer space have to be shared for the benefit of all countries. Other incidental challenges are that the share of each country and the modalities of distribution are not yet in place. And there is no competent organization to ensure incumbent regulation and compliance.Humanity should not be made to wait endlessly to enjoy this bonanza from outer space. This book describes such potentialities, discusses legal implications and explores the way forward with practical suggestions for immediate action as well as long-term plans for implementation.
