Aerospace Law and Policy Series #26
Legal Aspects of Active Debris Removal is a groundbreaking book that addresses the growing need for active removal of space debris which raises the question of whether the current international legal framework for space activities adequately regulates space debris removal and, if not, what the gaps are and how they can be filled. The quantity of space debris in Earth’s orbit has already reached a concerning level, threatening the safety of space activities. The debris pieces generated by a collision can trigger further collisions and thus fragment other objects, a phenomenon known as the Kessler Syndrome, making this problem more pressing.
What’s in this book:
The author provides an in-depth analysis of the following issues and topics:
This book examines initiatives undertaken at national and international levels related to the governance of active debris removal to address these gaps and proposes recommendations for the further development of international space law, encapsulated in four keywords: commitment, safety, consent, and transparency.
How this will help you:
Space debris is a multidisciplinary issue that requires collective efforts within the international space community. This book provides a systematic analysis of the present and future of space law in regulating active debris removal. For legal scholars, it offers an understanding of the evolving landscape of active debris removal, its regulatory challenges, and the international legal framework that needs to keep pace with its development. For policymakers, it can provide insights into shaping the future development of international space law to better accommodate the regulatory needs of debris removal.
