Book excerpt: Space Transport Liability 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.

Download or read book Launching Space Objects Issues of Liability and Future Prospects written by Valérie Kayser and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2001-10-31 with total page 384 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Launch activities performed by private entities deal with a complex legal environment. The Space Treaties provide a general liability framework. Launch participants are subject to regulatory or institutional control, and to domestic liability laws. Specific contractual practice has developed due to insurance limitations, the inter-participants' waivers of liability and claims. This book synthesizes information on the norms of play, to allow the grasp of their relative weight and interactions in the assessment of liability risk for launch activities. It reveals a legal framework presently lacking sufficient predictability for an efficient liability risk management: the waivers of liability suffer weaknesses as do all such clauses, and lack uniformity and reliability; and the Space Treaties contain ambiguous terms preventing predictable determination of the States responsible for authorizing and supervising launch activities and for damage compensation, and do not reflect the liability of launch operators. This book offers suggestions of new approaches for: harmonizing waivers of liability to improve their consistency, validity and flow-down; and improving the Space Treaties for their implementation to non-governmental launch activities. In the launch community, the need for lawmaking is less compelling than in fields such as aviation. Nevertheless, adjustments to the present framework are proposed through model clauses and an international instrument, for further thinking and contribution by those sharing the opinion that creative lawmaking is needed now to prepare for tomorrow's endeavors.
Download or read book Assessing the Risks written by Dr. Michael C. Mineiro and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page 32 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the early 21st century, the private commercial space transportation industry demonstrated that commercial human space transportation is both technologically and economically feasible. In 2004, the United States Congress responded by passing legislation authorizing the Department of Transportation to license commercial human space flight. Today, the U.S. commercial human space flight (CHSF) industry is developing launch vehicles that will carry paying participants on suborbital flights. Licenses have been granted by the DOT to test this experimental vehicle technology and in it anticipated that CHSF vehicles carrying space flight participants will enter into operation in the near future. As CHSF vehicles begin operation, questions of tort liability and risk management will need to be addressed. To that end, this article examines U.S. tort liability law within the paradigm of a potential commercial human space flight (CHSF) vehicle accident. Given the extensive nature of tort law this section focuses on negligence, strict liability for third party damage, and products liability as it relates to CHSF operators, pilots/crew, space flight participants (SFP), and vehicle manufacturers. Analogies are drawn from aviation and adventure sports/tourism for assessment of potential causes of action, defendants, plaintiffs and applicable standards of care. The role of U.S. state law and recent state legislative initiatives regarding tort liability are examined and assessed. Whether strict liability for third party damage should be imposed on CHSF operators is evaluated. Reciprocal cross-waivers of liability and informed consent provisions established by federal law are discussed within the context of tort defense. CHSF operators, pilots/crew, SFP, and vehicle manufacturers are advised to protect against economic loss attributable to likely tort liability resulting from a CHSF vehicle accident. Finally, proposals for legal reform in the area of CHSF tort liability are given.The potential CHSF vehicle accident discussed in this article is presumed to have occurred within the United States on a flight that departs and arrives from points within the United States. The reason for this presumption is to limit the scope of accident analysis to U.S domestic tort law. The role of international law in the event of an international accident is given credence and addressed, although briefly.

This book was released on 2000-05-17 with total page 508 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Here, Dave Shayler examines the hurdles faced by space crews as they prepare and embark on space missions. Divided into six parts, the text opens with the fateful, tragic mission of the Challenger crew in 1986. This is followed by a review of the risks that accompany every space trip and the unique environment in which the space explorer lives and works. The next four sections cover the four parts of any space flight (training, launch, in-flight and recovery) and present major historical incidents in each case. The final section looks at the next forty years beyond the Earth's atmosphere, beginning with the International Space Station and moving on to the difficulties inherent in a manned exploration of Mars.
Download or read book Recent Developments in Space Law written by R. Venkata Rao and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-10-15 with total page 163 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book offers a compendium of diverse essays on emerging legal issues in outer space, written by experts in the field of Space Law from different parts of the globe. The book comprehensively addresses opportunities in space and the inevitable legal challenges that these space activities pose for mankind. It explores the increasing role of private sector in outer space, which calls for a review of policy and legislation; invites opinio juris from law scholars for ensuring the applicability of the Outer Space Treaty on all states without ratification and universal abidance with Space Law without demur; reflects upon the challenges for the global space community involved in implementing a more effective approach to international space governance; and considers the use of domestic laws, and the consequent need for legal reform, to encourage broader engagement with commercial space innovation. Further, the book delves into the adequacy of existing international liability regime to protect space tourists in the event of a space vehicle accidents; examines the increasing use of space for military activities and canvasses how International Law may apply to condition behaviour; highlights the challenges of scavenging space debris; calls for protections of space assets; touches upon the legal regime pertaining to ASAT and discusses other ways of creating normative instruments, which also come from other areas and use other methods. Given its comprehensive coverage of opportunities in space and the inevitable legal challenges that they pose, the book offers a valuable resource for students, researchers, academics and professionals including government officials, industry executives, specialists, and lawyers, helping them understand essential contemporary issues and developments in Space Law.
