Space Law 101 - What Attorneys Need to Know About the Legal Framework Governing
About this program
This session provides a foundational overview of the international and domestic legal frameworks governing outer space activity. Drawing on the Outer Space Treaty of 1967 and U.S. commercial space laws, it covers core principles — from state liability and private actor oversight to resource mining, orbital debris, and conflict resolution — and flags the open legal questions that remain unsettled as commercial space activity accelerates. Attorneys will leave with a practical grounding in how space law works today and where the gaps are.
