The book also addresses the perceived lack of wisdom in neglecting to consider the basic legal structure of a regulatory regime for commercial space transport as a first step and goes on to analyze ways and means of using the existing legal instruments pertaining to international civil aviation as an analogous system that can be moulded into a separate and cohesive set of multilateral legal instruments that could apply to commercial space transport. As expected, commercial space transport has taken off with a flourish. It is now evident that, from sub-orbital flights to mining asteroids, this industry will grow exponentially. Signs of its importance are reflected by various international conferences being convened on the subject both by academia and the international community. The only snag is the lack of a regulatory instrument or in the least a contrived approach to a definitive legal regime that would provide a structure, purpose and direction to commercial space transport. This blatant lacuna and neglect has resulted in the emergence of various theories by academics and a half hearted look at the subject by the international legal community. 410 0$aSpringerBriefs in Law,$x2192-8568 606 $aLaw of the sea 606 $aInternational law 606 $aAeronautics$xLaw and legislation 606 $aAerospace engineering 606 $aAstronautics 606 $aProduction management 606 $aLaw of the Sea, Air and Outer Space 606 $aAerospace Technology and Astronautics 606 $aOperations Management 615 0$aLaw of the sea. 615 0$aInternational law. 615 0$aAeronautics$xLaw and legislation. 615 0$aAerospace engineering. 615 0$aAstronautics. 615 0$aProduction management. 615 14$aLaw of the Sea, Air and Outer Space. 615 24$aAerospace Technology and Astronautics. 615 24$aOperations Management. 676 $a341.46 700 $aAbeyratne$b Ruwantissa$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0784565 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910484764903321 996 $aRegulation of Commercial Space Transport$92852496 997 $aUNINA
