Abstract :

Background and Aim: The growing activity of private actors and non-governmental organizations in the exploration and use of space and the need for continuous licensing and oversight of space activities by the government, raises questions about: What Requirements and necessities of space treaties enforce states to set out their national laws? What model have the leading countries in the field of space followed to regulate the framework of their space laws? Method: The present study has been done in terms of applied purpose and in terms of data collection by documentary method and by studying valid legal instruments and sources and the obtained information has been analyzed descriptively-analytically.Findings: A comparative study of the national laws of the 28 leading countries in the field of space shows that all of them have used a series of similar legal topics. However, in enacting their national law, each country takes into account its national needs and security considerations and indigenous requirements, and the scope of its national law depends entirely on the scope of national space activities and the level of participation of non-governmental organizations and space policies.Results: International requirements to enact national space legislation arises from the fact that states in order to exploit and use space, while paying attention to and fulfilling their international obligations under space treaties , the mechanism Provide for the issuance of licenses and oversight of governmental bodies, non-governmental and private space activities in their domestic legal system and accept responsibility for their actions.
