Title

Joint IAF-IISL session on Legal Framework for Collaborative Human Space Missions

Description

This session invites discussions around topics related to the legal aspects of international collaboration in future human space missions and programmes such as the ISS lifetime extension, post ISS activities in LEO, or the Lunar Exploration. The scope encompasses both inter-agency as well as industrial collaboration. The session shall provide a forum to discuss the regulatory framework to establish and effectively run these programmes through development and operation phases especially, but not exclusively, from an industrial point of view. In addition, the session will address current tendencies to extend the duration and partnership of the ISS programme and lessons learned in the legal domain from collaborative programmes such as the built-up phase of the ISS, Interkosmos, or the Shuttle-Spacelab programme.
