This course explores the international and national laws governing outer space. It begins with a brief look back over the first half-century of spaceflight, and the global, intergovernmental lawmaking process that produced the international legal framework for space, as a lens for analyzing the legal dimensions of contemporary and future space activities, the primary focus of the course. As space activities are increasingly conducted by private entities, space lawmaking is shifting to national legislatures and regulatory agencies extending treaty obligations to non-governmental actors, and regulating for other public policy ends. The course will introduce students to the U.S. regulatory frameworks for launch and reentry of spacecraft, satellite communications, Earth imaging, and ongoing legislative efforts to address next-generation commercial space activities. The course will conclude with a look at governmental and commercial plans for the second half-century of spaceflight - including harvesting the resources of celestial bodies and human settlements in space - and opportunities for students to play a role in this future, whether in government, a private space company, or a VC fund.
Students will select a paper topic analyzing the legal dimensions of a contemporary or future space activity.
