Introduction to Space Law, currently in its fifth edition, comprises major updates to the fourth edition of the long-time classic, reflecting new developments in space law and technology over the past five years. The relevance and substance of space law as a branch of public international law continue to expand. This updated version covers new or expanded material on the proliferation of non-state and commercial entities as space actors, legal aspects of innovations in space technology, the evolving international law of satellite telecommunication in a networked world, and the adoption of national laws and international soft law mechanisms that complement the international treaty regime adopted in the 1960s and 1970s.

What’s in this book:

In this latest overview of space law, the authors provide an easily accessible analysis of the governing framework and institutional landscape at the international, regional (with a focus on Europe) and national levels and the legal challenges of new and traditional areas of space activity, including:

  • the peaceful uses of outer space, including issues of dual-use, export control and cybersecurity
  • protection of the Earth and space environment
  • telecommunication
  • the commercial use of space resources
  • human space flight
  • small satellites and large constellations
  • Earth observation, and
  • global navigation satellite systems

Furthermore, the five United Nations Treaties on space are included as Annexes for easy reference by students and professionals alike.

How this will help you:

This thoroughly updated Introduction to Space Law furnishes a clear overview of the legal aspects of a wide array of current and emerging space activities. Lawyers, policy-makers, diplomats, students, and professionals in the telecommunication and aerospace sectors, with or without a legal background, will find concise yet comprehensive guidance in this book that will help them understand and address legal issues in the ever-expanding field of space activities.
