SPRINGERBRIEFS IN LAW REGULATION OF COMMERCIA...

This book provides a look at the various nuances of the commercial aspects of space transport
and offers a workable and practical legal and regulatory approach to be taken by the
International Civil Aviation Organization. The book also addresses the perceived lack of wisdom
in neglecting to consider the basic legal structure of a regulatory regime for commercial space
transport as a first step and goes on to analyze ways and means of using the existing legal
instruments pertaining to international civil aviation as an analogous system that can be
moulded into a separate and cohesive set of multilateral legal instruments that could apply to
commercial space transport. As expected  commercial space transport has taken off with a
flourish. It is now evident that  from sub-orbital flights to mining asteroids  this industry
will grow exponentially. Signs of its importance are reflected by various international
conferences being convened on the subject both by academia and the international community. The
only snag is the lack of a regulatory instrument or in the least a contrived approach to a
definitive legal regime that would provide a structure  purpose and direction to commercial
space transport. This blatant lacuna and neglect has resulted in the emergence of various
theories by academics and a half hearted look at the subject by the international legal
community.
