This book provides a look at the various nuances of the commercial aspects of space transport and offers a workable and practical legal and regulatory approach to be taken by the International Civil Aviation Organization. The book also addresses the perceived lack of wisdom in neglecting to consider the basic legal structure of a regulatory regime for commercial space transport as a first step and goes on to analyze ways and means of using the existing legal instruments pertaining to international civil aviation as an analogous system that can be moulded into a separate and cohesive set of mul.

• Is there life in outer space?
• Space tourism
• Legal and regulatory regime
• Issues of aerospace insurance
• The air transport insurance industry
• The application of intellectual property rights to outer space activities.

Against the variegated background of bewilderment and cautious optimism that space transportation offers, this book begins with an expose on international politics, the principles of which, bear upon space transportation, as well as the closeness of air space and outer space, and activities that straddle both frontiers at the same time. It discusses current issues and possibilities of communications and transportation in outer space, as well as the liabilities and accountability of the key players of space exploration.

This work has two themes: how does an entrepreneur orbit a spacecraft legally; and once in orbit, what legal risks need to be managed? The book explains the practical hurdles entrepreneurs must leap: how to wage and win the administrative battle to capture scarce satellite orbits and frequencies; how to protect against launch and transponder failures and the illegal export of satellite technology; and how to meet competitive challenges satellite owners already operating may hurl at the entrepreneur. The book also discusses operating concerns: when will foreign State consent for satellite communications and broadcasts be required; how will remote sensing satellite data be protected; may satellites be used for newsgathering or for military purposes? "Launching and Operating Satellites" should interest the deal makers, deal breakers, agencies mediating their disputes, and lawyers, legislators, and judges who must act when mediation fails.

This text examines the national and international space transport liability principles which govern personal injury, property damage, and cargo losses caused by spacecraft. The value of maritime, aviation, and general transport analogies and law is considered. The book then considers the proper parties, forums, law, and precedents available to resolve space transport disputes. This book is as much about what space transport law will be as what it is. It will interest legislators as well as lawyers. It will assist space transport participants to structure their agreements and resolve their disputes. The cases described will assist insurers in underwriting space risks and venture capitalists in hedging their bets. For students of law, it will extend conventional principles to unconventional situations.

• Scientific and technical aspects
• Present state of the legal debate and suggested solutions within UNCOPUOS
• Comments
• Treaties and conventions
• Websites
• UNCOPUOS : the question of the definition/delimitation of outer space (papers)
• ICAO : concept of suborbital flights, information submitted to the UNCOPUOS legal subcommittee of 19 March 2010

• USA-Japan : agreement on space shuttle contingency landing sites.

This book deals with the 'definition/delimitation question' with special regard to the passage of spacecraft through foreign airspace for reaching the orbit and returning to Earth. This is particularly important for space transportation systems like the US Space Shuttle or the Soviet BURAN, which were used in the past. New systems are already planned in the US, Europe and China. However, they will all encounter the same 'passageproblems' as their two predecessors, according to the present and foreseeable state of space technology. The authors start with a presentation of the relevant technical basics, which is then followed by legal considerations taking into account the extremely sensitive space environment where civilian, commercial and governmental (including military) activities are conducted by fundamentally different actors with diverging interests and philosophies. In this context State practice with respect to passage rights and agreements with respect to abort and emergency landing sites on foreign territory are also discussed. As an annex a comprehensive selection of relevant documents is reprinted.
