Public·116 members

Space which was a dream in the 19th century has turned into reality, many Space Organisations have their own scientific technology which helps in studying the Earth as well as Outer space, even India is part of Five Space treaty and it has its own largest space scientific agency known as ISRO, like this many private players also involved in Space technology all over the world such as SpaceX, BlueOrigin, and Etc. In the year 2021, India also introduced Space Industries to Private players. This has given a wider scope of commercialization of Space Industries all over the world due to the increase in Space Activities and the Lack of Space Law leading to Space Debris which is a potential threat to the Earth. The regulation and promotion of space trade in India should therefore be the primary objectives of any national legislation pertaining to space. Space law is essential for the administration of non-governmental organizations that would apportion domestic liability between the government and private players.


According to NASA, there are more than 27000 pieces of Space Junk or Debris (tracked) orbiting around the Earth and commercialization and tourism of space can cause an adverse impact on the space environment that leads to more space junks that are pulled back by the Earth’s gravitational forces and damage the Earth and it also makes it difficult for the future space mission. Therefore the main question that arises over here is, who is liable to pay the damages caused by this Artificial Object or man-made satellites and resolve the dispute regarding Space Activities?
