The book begins by explaining the historical background that has given rise to the diverse and expanding contemporary commercial space industry, including important milestones that have facilitated the growth of the industry. The book explains the various segments or categories that make up the commercial space industry including their associated goods and services. This provides the reader with the context needed to comprehend the growth and diversification of commercial space activities from space manufacturing to satellite data services. The book continues with a series of topical case studies of relevance to various space activities. For example, the book dedicates a chapter to examining the close connection that exists between commercial and military space activities and analysing how dual-use technologies offered by commercial entities have an important role to play in military space operations. The book continues with a deep dive into the emerging connections between the artificial intelligence industry and space industry, and the risks and opportunities therein. A significant and timely case study within the book is the regulation of satellite (mega) constellations. This case study examines commercial and regulatory issues associated with the deployment of satellite constellations, paying close attention to how current international space legal frameworks might regulate such activities. Of particular relevance to many space businesses is the topic of intellectual property. The book described in detail the application of patent law in the context of space activities and discusses how international space law and certain domestic laws may provide greater certainty for space actors with regards to intellectual property and space activities. Finally, considering the complex engineering considerations faced by many space companies, the book provides the reader with a detailed analysis of how a system-of-systems risk management approach can assist with some of the challenges associated with designing and operating commercial space missions. The work contained in this book is intended to provide the reader with series of select case studies examining topics related to commercial space activities. The book will appeal to a broad range of reader from policy makers, space lawyers, regulatory bodies, space businesses, national space agencies as well as academics, researcher, and students. 410 0$aSpace Law and Policy,$x2662-9062 606 $aLaw of the sea 606 $aInternational law 606 $aAeronautics$xLaw and legislation 606 $aConflict of laws 606 $aConflict of laws 606 $aComparative law 606 $aMediation 606 $aDispute resolution (Law) 606 $aArbitration (Administrative law) 606 $aTechnological innovations 606 $aIndustries 606 $aSpace 606 $aLaw of the Sea, Air and Outer Space 606 $aPrivate International Law, International and Foreign Law, Comparative Law 606 $aDispute Resolution, Mediation, Arbitration 606 $aInnovation and Technology Management 606 $aIndustries 606 $aSpace Studies 615 0$aLaw of the sea. 615 0$aInternational law. 615 0$aAeronautics$xLaw and legislation. 615 0$aConflict of laws. 615 0$aConflict of laws. 615 0$aComparative law. 615 0$aMediation. 615 0$aDispute resolution (Law) 615 0$aArbitration (Administrative law) 615 0$aTechnological innovations. 615 0$aIndustries. 615 0$aSpace. 615 14$aLaw of the Sea, Air and Outer Space. 615 24$aPrivate International Law, International and Foreign Law, Comparative Law. 615 24$aDispute Resolution, Mediation, Arbitration. 615 24$aInnovation and Technology Management. 615 24$aIndustries. 615 24$aSpace Studies. 676 $a341.4 700 $aDennerley$b Joel A$01885638 701 $aDennerley$01885639 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9911049204803321 996 $aThe Business of Outer Space$94520941 997 $aUNINA
