| Abstract [eng] |
This work analyzes the international legal framework addressing the growing population of space debris and the therefrom resulting issues for space activities. For this purpose, the international space treaties as well as various guidelines by the United Nations and other international institutions and organizations are assessed to identify aspects of the international legal framework which could be improved. In particular the increased debris generation from the commercialization of space and the emerging trend of using large numbers of small satellites needs to be considered in order to create an appropriate legal framework capable of managing space debris. |
