This comprehensive volume covers all aspects of international space law, including the fundamental principles and the legal regimes governing space applications. Uniquely it deals extensively with the international law of space communications and the legal issues related to space safety both of which have been largely neglected in earlier manuscripts. Covering the most recent material "International Space Law" deals with both the theoretical and practical aspects (including case law) in the realm of applied international space law. This work will have broad appeal and be of interest to researchers and academics in the fields of space law and/or international law, space industry executives, specialist lawyers, foreign ministries as well as international organisations such as the United Nations.
