Small Satellites, Public and Private Law Perspectives

type

oral

Description

The exponential practice of using small satellites requires a fresh view on the present legal framework. The session discusses the implications of Article VI of the Outer Space Treaty on the authorization and supervision of small satellites on the basis of the domestic licensing procedures. It elaborates on the legal framework of launching services, including questions of insurance and other commercial aspects. It sheds light on the regulatory procedures of the ITU designed for small satellites, and their implementation in the domestic practice.
