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.
