Abstract

We enter the new space age characterized by the arms race in outer space, by the emergence of new space powers and by the increasing importance of the private entities in conducting – often dual use – activities on Earth orbits. All countries party to the Outer Space Treaty willing to develop national space activities are obliged authorize and continuously supervise activities undertaken by their national entities. Whilst the international legal regime on space activities is frozen since the end of the 70’s, more than 40 states have adopted national legal regime regulating space activities conducted by their nationals or from their territory. The aim of this study is to present the international and European legal environment related to national space law and to identify the best practices of national space laws from the perspective of a smaller country like Hungary, having ambitions in space activities.
