    Title

    Legal issues associated with private human flight, including space and ground facilities, traffic management and spaceports

    type

    oral

    Description

    With the ever-increasing likehood that a commercial industry for private human flight will ultimately develop, careful consideration must be given to the multitude of legal issues that are relevant for the 'launch' and return phases to and from earth. Various private entities have developed, or are in the process of developing, unique technologies to facilitate the space 'tourism' experience, and appropriate legal rules, at both a national and international level, will be required to cover issues such as safety, licensing, infrastructure, jurisdiction and control, traffic management (both in air and in space), and dedicated flight 'corridors', amongst others. This session seeks to encourage an exchange of views as to whether there are common legal principles that might apply to all aspects of both the space and ground facilities that may be necessary, and also to discuss how the differences in technology may require variations at a national level to accomodate the sui generis questions that will arise for the various services that may be offered.
