Books in the Space Regulations Library series

This book aims to find a workable interpretation of the non-appropriation principle that is compatible with both the existing international space law framework and the move of the private space industry towards the mining of asteroids and other celestial bodies.

With detailed analysis of the economic, technical and physical feasibility of space mining, this work examines the legal and policy issues affecting commercial exploitation of outer space, and proposes a new regulatory framework that balances policy interests.

Scholar,author, and attorney Ernst Fasan was among the original space lawyers, a small,pioneering group of visionaries who recognized that the movement of man intospace must be accomplished without the shackles of history and in anenvironment free from the threat of the use of space as an instrument of armedaggression.

Export controls definitively impact international cooperation in outer space. Breaking new ground in international legal theory, a self-justified security dilemma that is manifest in international law is identified and explained as the origin for the current paradigm of space technology export controls.
