It also addresses the difficult oversight and regulatory issues that face states and non-state enterprises that would take on the perilous task of obtaining natural resources from the Moon and asteroids. An increasing number of countries are becoming involved in space-related activities that were previously carried out primarily by the United States and the USSR (now the Russian Federation). How these regulatory endeavors might be handled in international treaties, standards, codes of conduct or other means have become a truly international political issue. And there is yet another issue. In the past, space activities traditionally fell under the exclusive domain of government. But the last few years have seen the emergence of the private sector of "space entrepreneurs." This poses many challenges for the pre-existing governance regimes and state-based conceptions of international law. This book examines the adequacies and ambiguities in treaty provisions and national laws and in currently accepted practices involving the growing exploration and exploitation of space-based natural resources. 410 0$aAstronautical Engineering,$x2365-9599 606 $aAerospace engineering 606 $aAstronautics 606 $aLaw of the sea 606 $aInternational law 606 $aGeotechnical engineering 606 $aSpace sciences 606 $aAerospace Technology and Astronautics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/T17050 606 $aLaw of the Sea, Air and Outer Space$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/R19060 606 $aGeotechnical Engineering & Applied Earth Sciences$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/G37010 606 $aSpace Sciences (including Extraterrestrial Physics, Space Exploration and Astronautics)$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P22030 615 0$aAerospace engineering. 615 0$aAstronautics. 615 0$aLaw of the sea. 615 0$aInternational law. 615 0$aGeotechnical engineering. 615 0$aSpace sciences. 615 14$aAerospace Technology and Astronautics. 615 24$aLaw of the Sea, Air and Outer Space. 615 24$aGeotechnical Engineering & Applied Earth Sciences. 615 24$aSpace Sciences (including Extraterrestrial Physics, Space Exploration and Astronautics). 676 $a341.47 686 $a64.22$2EP-CLASS 686 $a68.08$2EP-CLASS 700 $aJakhu$b Ram S$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0791323 702 $aPelton$b Joseph N$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut 702 $aNyampong$b Yaw Otu Mankata$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910254169103321 996 $aSpace Mining and Its Regulation$92088828 997 $aUNINA
