session 2

Title: International cooperation on the way to the Moon and Mars
type: oral
Description: The exploration of Moon and Mars remains, if not “the,” then one of the crucial endeavors of present space research. In order to achieve their goals, these projects are accompanied by a broad network of regulatory instruments outlining different models of cooperation among various international partners. This session analyses these bi- and multilateral tools and compares them with current models of cooperation in space exploration. In the area of environmental protection, the legal status of Lunar water is analysed, and the need to update the COSPAR rules to these space endeavors is discussed. Furthermore, the session stimulates discussions on interoperability and standardization of elements of space objects and offers a platform for exchanging the views on the legal aspects of the establishment of communication networks on the Moon.
