Abstract

Over the past two decades, discussions about the future of outer space have often gone hand in hand with the role that private space companies, such as SpaceX, Blue Origin, and Rocket Lab, have had in transforming the space industry. Outer space has quickly developed into a competitive commercial landscape, a contrast to initial space law activity that focused on exploration.[1] With this shift, questions have arisen about whether current international space treaties provide adequate protections for space governance between states and private entities, and the protection of outer space resources.
