Outer Space Treaty

The Outer Space Treaty, signed in 1967, is a key agreement governing the exploration and use of outer space. It establishes that space is the province of all mankind, prohibits the placement of nuclear weapons in space, and asserts that celestial bodies cannot be claimed by any one nation. The treaty emphasizes peaceful use of space, encourages international cooperation, and mandates that countries are responsible for their space activities, including those conducted by private entities. Overall, it aims to ensure that space remains a shared resource, fostering collaboration and preventing conflict beyond Earth.
