Publisher's Synopsis
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. In this text, students, lawyers, and also corporate organizations should find a useful orientation and guidance concerning the legal problems and practical consequences emanating from the main space treaties. With the commercialization of outer space activities developing at great pace, vital operations like remote sensing and telecommunications have been specially highlighted. In addition, the very latest developments on this subject have been closely monitored. For those interested in more profound studies, extensive documentation has also been included. This second printing has been extended and adapted to new developments at the end of the 20th century.
