Sommario/riassunto

On the occasion of the 50th anniversary of the Outer Space Treaty this book gives a first insight into where the next generation considers room for further improvement of the Outer Space Treaty in order to



cope with upcoming aspects such as providing solutions for the emerging commercial, economic, environmental and social questions.
