Title

Recent Developments in Space Law

Description

In this session, papers are invited to address legal aspects of the most recent developments in space activities that have taken place since the other session topics have been determined, i.e. since March 2009 only. In addition, papers are invited to address two special issues. Firstly, this concerns the legal aspects of Solar Power Satellites. In this field several high-level technical studies are currently conducted to assess whether such satellites can operate within the existing international regulatory regime and whether such regime is conducive to this newest space application. Secondly, papers are invited to address the ongoing developments and progress in the context of international Intergovernmental agreements on space cooperation and space activities, such as the Agreement on the International Space Station or agreements pertaining to international satellite organizations like ITSO, IMSO, EUTELSAT IGO or ARABSAT.
