Abstract
![CDATA[This chapter examines the fundamental legal principles that underpin both air and space law but more significantly those that specifically regulate the use, exploration, and exploitation of outer space. It also raises and addresses several key issues and challenges posed by human activities in outer space, particularly relating to commercial use and its effects, emerging environmental concerns, and the militarization of outer space.]]
