space resources rights

Space resource rights refer to the legal framework governing the ownership and use of materials like minerals, water, or other resources that are extracted from celestial bodies such as planets, moons, or asteroids. Currently, international agreements like the Outer Space Treaty emphasize that space is not owned by any country or entity and that activities should benefit all humanity. However, as commercial entities plan to explore and mine space resources, laws are evolving to clarify rights for extraction and ownership, balancing innovation, national interests, and international cooperation.
