Space Law
Space law is an area of the law that encompasses national and international law governing activities in outer space. International lawyers have been unable to agree on a uniform definition of the term "outer space," although most lawyers agree that outer space generally begins at the lowest altitude above sea level at which objects can orbit the Earth, approximately 100 km (62 mi).
The inception of the field of space law began with the launch in October 1957 of the world's first artificial satellite, the Union of Soviet Socialist Republic's Sputnik. It was launched as part of the International Geophysical Year. Since then, space law has evolved and assumed more importance as humankind has increasingly come to use and rely on space-based resources.
