Space Law

Space law refers to the body of regulations and agreements that govern human activities in outer space. It primarily arises from international treaties, like the Outer Space Treaty of 1967, which establishes that space is the province of all humankind and not subject to national ownership. Space law addresses issues such as the use of space resources, liability for damage caused by space objects, and the rights of nations and private entities in space exploration. As activities in space grow, understanding and developing these laws becomes crucial for safe and responsible use of outer space.
