This book was released on 2016-05-10 with total page 294 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The law of outer space is rapidly evolving to adapt to changes in the economic drivers as well as advancements in technological capabilities. The contents of this book are a reflection of this changing environment as evidenced in the writings of the second and third generations of space lawyers. Theoretical aspects of space law are explored by chapters relating to fundamental concepts central to the corpus juris spatialis. Practical aspects of space law are probed by examinations into international and domestic regulation of commercial activities, with particular emphasis on African, Asian, and European perspectives. International policy considerations are scrutinized in relation to military uses of outer space. The scientific Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence (SETI) is the subject of a concise history of the discipline vis-a-vis the role of the SETI Permanent Committee of the International Academy of Astronautics (IAA), and also of a study of the policy and other ramifications of social media in the event of the discovery of intelligent extraterrestrial beings. The book concludes with the republication of the seminal and highly influential Relations With Alien Intelligences The Scientific Basis of Metalaw by Dr. Ernst Fasan, first published in 1970. 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 into space must be accomplished without the shackles of history and in an environment free from the threat of the use of space as an instrument of armed aggression. The influence of Dr. Fasan has extended beyond the international legal community to the broader scientific community, especially to the field of astrobiology, as he pursued groundbreaking investigations into what could be the ultimate in legal relationships - metalaw - the interaction of sentient beings from different planets. The contributors to this Liber Amicorum are among those who can trace their own work to the foundations of space law placed in part by Ernst Fasan.

Book excerpt: Space debris has been and still remains a growing threat for the international space community. As a source of pollution, orbiting debris adversely damages the space environment. There is an increased risk of additional debris being generated by colliding with space objects, and such fragments remaining in space permanently. Every space actors, whether State-sponsored, civilians or commercial, are affected by the space debris population. Human lives are endangered: astronauts undertaking extra-vehicular activities or even the paying public enjoying commercial human spaceflights run the risk of colliding with pieces of debris. The continuing growth of debris in heavily used orbital regions, like Low Earth Orbit (LEO) and Geostationary Earth Orbit (GEO), not causes minor or complete abruptions to space operations, but potentially could prevent launches of planned space vehicles; thus, denying future access to, and use of, outer space. Further to stifling space development, the quality of the space environment is degrading, therefore. Preserving and sustaining that environment as a valuable resource for future space users has motivated interested space bodies to consider mechanisms to control the increase of debris. Such international meetings like the 5th European Conference on Space Debris and the US House of Representatives Committee on Science and Technology's Subcommittee on Space and Aeronautics on 'Keeping the Space Environment Safe for Civil and Commercial Space Users' have arrived to the same conclusion: better international agreed space debris mitigation methods to reduce the probability of additional debris must be created as well as remediation mechanisms being imposed. This Paper shall explore the different meanings and sources of 'space debris'. The population of orbital debris, also, is quantified, and three galvanising events are identified and commented as exacerbating its growth since 2007. This Paper then shall examine the effectiveness of space debris mitigation practices, which were adopted by the international space community, to tackle the rising population of orbiting debris. These measures are not binding under international space law: compliance is voluntary. The Space Debris Mitigation Guidelines are preventative practices designed to control the increase of space congestion in popular orbital regions like LEO and GEO to preserve their commercial and scientific value as well as use of, and access to, by future space users. It shall be demonstrated that in the absence of legal liability and sanctioning being imposed on space operators the mitigation practices can be ignored.

Book excerpt: This year marks the fiftieth anniversary of the first on-orbit fragmentation. It was on June 29, 1961 that a U.S. Ablestar upper stage exploded into some 300 large pieces, adding to the then official record of the total orbital debris population of only 54 fragments. Following this event and more than 200 known satellite fragmentations, the population of space debris continues to overwhelm the space environment, and its growth - as commented by U.S. Chairwoman Gabrielle Giffords before the Subcommittee on Space Aeronautics on 'Keeping the Space Environment Safe for Civil and Commercial Users' - is 'relentless'. Merely after a half of century or more of space-related activity, 'the current orbital debris environment has already reached a “tipping point.” That is, the amount of debris - in terms of the population of large debris objects, as well as overall mass of debris in orbit - currently in orbit has reached a threshold where it will continually collide with itself, further increasing the population of orbital debris. This increase will lead to corresponding increases in spacecraft failures, which will only create more feedback into the system, increasing the debris population growth rate'. With such foreseeable outcome fated to the orbits, retired NASA space debris expert, Donald Kessler grimly states that: 'We've lost control of the [space] environment'. This article aims to educate the reader that debris is a type of environmental pollution that can potentially remain in space permanently; and such orbiting fragments significant affects the space environment itself and threats the enjoyment of the space community in using and exploring outer space with the risks of physical damage to their space assets and interferences to space operations; and, if the population rate of such produced fragment is inadequately controlled, that future sustainability development in accessing and using space would be stifled. To this end, this article shall explore the various meanings and sources of space debris. It quantifies the magnitude of debris population, highlighting that the rate of its creation exceeds the rate of its removal, and attributes the recent accumulative rise of on-orbit debris to three events involving the three worst debris-polluting offenders - China, Russia and the United States. The Chapter also reflects the reaction of the space community, surveying and measuring the legal effectiveness of international efforts to manage the debris problem.
