About this Unit
This unit replaced by 200652 Space Law - Commercial Aspects. This introductory unit may be of equal value to law students, political science students, commercial students and practising lawyers interested in strengthening their understanding of the issues emerging in the commercialisation of outer space. Brief introductions to selected concepts of international law relevant to the understanding of space law are provided. This unit identifies selected early space commentators and some useful pre-Sputnik writing on space law and proposed space policies. It includes the content of the individual instruments in the five United Nations generated Space Treaties and five key Declarations of Principles related to activities in space.
