| Summary: | The article is devoted to the study and research of contemporary legal issues in the field of
international space law. Today we are witnessing the rapid and unstoppable development of the space
industry. Such cooperation requires an appropriate legal framework. In this article, we will review the
leading normative legal acts regulating relations in outer space today and analyze current development
trends and problems.
Space law is a relatively new branch of international public law, involving a combination of customs
and treaties. The legislative framework of the space industry is expanding accordingly to the subject
that is regulated. One of the main issues that are investigated in this article is the search for a balance
between free access of humanity to the space and the opportunity to establish ownership of certain study
objects in outer space. The ability to develop the right of ownership of private enterprises, companies,
research centers is extremely important for the economic development of the space industry.
This article aims to provide a holistic understanding of current trends and challenges in space law
with particular emphasis on such issues as space tourism, the “new space” and climate change. The
article will examine the founding treaties of space law, the legal framework, and scientific literature
concerning space law. The leading goal of this article is to highlight new trends and prospects of space
research, the exploration of new perspectives, which are distributed today in the field of outer space, and
search of ways of its solution within the framework of legislative regulation. |
