About
Space is an exciting new frontier for the global economy, but like all frontiers, it exists largely without a legal framework to guide and protect the people and businesses that would participate in this economy. This webcast will bring space industry and legal experts together to address some tough questions related to space law and how it relates to new economic activity: How do we define corporate ownership, or liability in space? How would lawsuits over activities in space proceed? What are the “rules of the road” for space today? And how does space policy need to evolve for the future? Who is responsible for creating the legal framework for space? And, how critical is cooperation with other space-faring nations? Join us for this critical discussion on governing and protecting the Future Space Economy.
