Space Law
By
Francis Lyall and Paul B. Larsen
Description
The
opening of space to exploration and use has had profound effects on
society. Remote sensing by satellite has improved meteorology, land
use and the monitoring of the environment. Satellite television
immediately informs us visually of events in formerly remote
locations, as well as providing many entertainment channels. World
telecommunication facilities have been revolutionised. Global
positioning has improved transport. This book examines the varied
elements of public law that lie behind and regulate the use of space.
It also makes suggestions for the development and improvement of the
law, particularly as private enterprise plays an increasing role in
space.
