Ownership of Space Objects
Journal Title: Advanced Space Law - Year 2018, Vol 2, Issue
Abstract
The article is devoted to the study of the concept of «space objects» and their legal nature. The situation arising in international space law in connection with the adoption by the United States and Luxembourg of legislative acts aimed at the legalization, extraction, use and appropriation of space resources by private companies is analyzed. The legal acts, basic scientific opinions and legal positions of lawyers concerning the activity of different states in the space industry, the activities of the Committee on the Peaceful Uses of Outer Space and its Legal Subcommittee have been analyzed. It is concluded that today the basic acts of international space law are lagging behind the development of scientific and technological progress, and the relevant UN structures are not able to solve all the pressing problems of space activity. It is proposed to adopt a number of agreed normative legal acts of international space law and to create a new organization on issues of space activities.
