Introduction to Space Law

Published in the same format as its predecessor, An Introduction to Air Law, the author was inspired by similar motives to produce this practical volume on space law. Although several handbooks on space law have been on the market for quite some time, a publication giving a more concise & yet comprehensive picture was sorely needed. In this book, students, lawyers, & also corporate organisations will find a useful orientation & guidance concerning the legal problems & practical consequences emanating from the main space treaties. With the commercialisation of outer space activities developing at great pace, vital operations like remote sensing & telecommunications have been specially highlighted. In addition, the very latest developments on this subject have been closely monitored to provide you with the most updated information. For those interested in more profound studies, extensive documentation has also been included. This second printing has been extended & adapted to include new developments.Diederiks-Verschoor, I. H. is the author of 'Introduction to Space Law' with ISBN 9789065446923 and ISBN 9065446923.
