Commercial Uses of Space and Space Tourism combines the
perspectives of academics, policy makers and major industry players
around three central themes: the international legal challenges
posed by the dramatic changes to the spacefaring landscape; the
corresponding legal and regulatory responses to these challenges at
the national level; and topical questions of global space
governance. Chapters cover emerging activities in commercial
spacefaring, including space tourism and space transportation, and
identify the regulatory issues that may arise in the absence of a
clear boundary between airspace and outer space. By taking a
pragmatic, inductive approach, the book aims to breathe new life
into the discussion of the air?space boundary, while informing
readers about the many exciting recent developments in commercial
spacefaring. This book will appeal to lecturers, academics and
students in space law and air law, as well as policy makers and
industry practitioners involved in the regulation of orbital and
suborbital commercial spaceflight, both manned and unmanned.
