Our next and final lecture in the 8th Annual Space, Cyber, and Telecom Spring Conference is titled “US Laws Governing Space Activities” with Dennis Burnett and Franceska Schroeder. This will be a preview of the upcoming mini course offered in Fall 2014, “Space and Satellite Business Law” (Law 676; 1 cr hr). The lecture will be streamed from Ms. Schroeder’s office in Washington DC.
U.S. Space policy has favored increasing commercialization for three decades. Over 200 commercial space launches have occurred since the first one in 1989. New commercial activities, including ferrying cargo to and from the International Space Station and performing research and experiments for the private sector on the ISS, are becoming routine. Soon human transportation and asteroid mining will be part of the commercial space landscape. This lecture will begin to review and examine the history of space policies regarding space commercialization.
