Title

Joint IAF/IISL Session on Legal Framework for Cooperative Space Endeavours

Description

This session hosts papers on topics related to the political and legal aspects of international collaboration in future human space missions and programmes such as the ISS lifetime extension, post ISS activities in LEO or Lunar Exploration. The session provides a forum to discuss the de jure regulatory framework and de facto implementation of such programmes during the development and operation phases. In addition, it will address effects of extending the duration and partnership of the ISS programme, and lessons learned from past collaborative programmes such as Interkosmos or the Shuttle-Spacelab programmes may be addressed.
