Space Treaty

The Outer Space Treaty, established in 1967, is an international agreement that governs the activities of countries in space. It emphasizes that space exploration should benefit all humanity and prohibits the placement of nuclear weapons in space. The treaty also states that celestial bodies are not subject to national sovereignty, meaning no country can claim ownership of them. Additionally, it encourages nations to cooperate in the peaceful use of outer space and requires them to avoid harmful interference with other countries’ activities in space. Overall, it aims to promote safety and responsibility in space exploration.
