This book is a comprehensive analysis of international space law and policy in the past, present and future. It also assesses municipal laws and policies, especially those of the United States. The scope of the book is exceptionally broad, dealing with the very earliest developments in the field. It contains articles which describe the on-going progress based on practice, the emergence of treaties and other international commitments such as the decisions of the United Nations and the International Telecommunication Union, and issues which are currently unresolved, but which are under consideration in these international intergovernmental organisations.
