Providing a comprehensive and timely overview of the evolving landscape of space law, this Encyclopedia emphasises the importance of international collaboration in maintaining outer space as a peaceful domain.
This Encyclopedia illustrates how the demise of the bipolar world order changed the paradigm of international legal developments in outer space activities, whilst the need to guarantee the security, safety, and sustainability of space remained unchanged. The rise of the private space industry necessitates new legal approaches that balance the fast pace of technological advancements with the needs of all stakeholders, including operators. This can be seen in various licensing regimes which seek to foster innovation while at the same time preserving national interests.

Key Features:
● Over 80 entries written by leading scholars and practitioners from five continents
● Addresses the complexities of space law including suborbital flights, cybersecurity, space resource utilization, and the prospect of lunar settlements
● Explores the rise of private space ventures, technological advancements, and the challenges they pose to existing legal frameworks
