Russian space law

Russian space law, primarily governed by the Federal Law on Space Activities, establishes regulations for space operations, launches, and use of outer space. It ensures national security, protection of space assets, and compliance with international treaties like the Outer Space Treaty. The law defines responsibilities for government agencies, private companies, and international cooperation, emphasizing safety, environmental protection, and liability for damages caused by space activities. It also sets procedures for licensing, coordinating space missions, and managing space debris, aiming to balance innovation with security and international obligations.
