Bigelow Aerospace's Commodity Jurisdiction Request Under Itar And Its Impact On The Future Of Private Spaceflight, Mark J. Sundahl
Bigelow Aerospace's Commodity Jurisdiction Request Under Itar And Its Impact On The Future Of Private Spaceflight, Mark J. Sundahl
Law Faculty Contributions to Books
On April 22, 2009, Bigelow Aerospace announced that the United States Directorate of Defense Trade Controls (DDTC) had responded favorably to Bigelow's commodity jurisdiction request to ease its regulatory burden under the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR). Prior to this decision by the DDTC, the presence of foreign nationals on a Bigelow space station would have been treated as an "export" of space technology under IT AR - thus requiring a license from the DDTC in addition to other burdens. Bigelow Aerospace's successful commodity jurisdiction request has removed these obstacles and, as a result, has breathed new life into …
Rarely Tried, And . . . Rarely Successful: Theoretically Impossible Price Predation Among The Airlines, Christopher L. Sagers
Rarely Tried, And . . . Rarely Successful: Theoretically Impossible Price Predation Among The Airlines, Christopher L. Sagers
Law Faculty Articles and Essays
Two large bodies of literature bearing on the competitive health of the deregulated airlines are in sharp conflict: (1) the volumes of judicial and academic output to the effect that the phenomenon of predatory pricing is, as a practical matter, impossible; and (2) the similarly massive body of industry-specific theory and empirical evidence that predation not only occurs in airline markets, but has been a key tool to preserve market power held by the surviving legacy carriers. This article seeks to establish from the latter that the former is a poor basis for policy, especially if there is nothing really …
The Duty To Rescue Space Tourists And Return Private Spacecraft, Mark J. Sundahl
The Duty To Rescue Space Tourists And Return Private Spacecraft, Mark J. Sundahl
Law Faculty Articles and Essays
International space law has long imposed a duty to rescue astronauts and return errant spacecraft to the launching state. However, the existing space law treaties contain a number of gaps and interpretational problems that, among other things, call into question whether the duty to rescue and return applies to space tourists and spacecraft owned by private companies. These issues are of critical importance to the survival of the new space tourism industry, which is made up of a growing number of companies - such as Virgin Galactic, Rocketplane, and Blue Origin - that intend to launch their maiden flights in …
Germs On A Plane: Legal Protections Afforded To International Air Travelers And Governments In The Event Of A Suspected Or Actual Contagious Passenger And Proposals To Strengthen Them, Alexandra R. Harrington
Germs On A Plane: Legal Protections Afforded To International Air Travelers And Governments In The Event Of A Suspected Or Actual Contagious Passenger And Proposals To Strengthen Them, Alexandra R. Harrington
Journal of Law and Health
This article calls for the creation of an international public health do-not-fly list akin to those used by Interpol and the United States government as a stop-gap measure to ensure that passengers who have been diagnosed with infectious diseases or have been exposed to infectious diseases are unable to travel until it is established that it is medically safe for them to do so. This article has also called for amendments to the IHR and the Vienna Conventions to clarify the rights and obligations of travelers and states in the event of a suspected or established case of infectious disease …
Thomas Jefferson, We Have A Problem: The Unconstitutionality Nature Of The U.S.'S Aerospace Export Control Regime As Supposed By Bernstein V. U.S. Department Of Justice , Mike N. Gold
Cleveland State Law Review
All men are created equal, except aerospace workers. This was not how the Declaration of Independence was written, but it is how the U.S. government is currently enforcing its aerospace-related export control restrictions. Specifically, under the auspices of the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (“ITAR”)1 those in the aerospace workforce have unwittingly surrendered their First Amendment rights to free speech. This article will describe how the Ninth Circuit case of Bernstein v. U.S. Department of Justice2 clearly demonstrates the unconstitutional nature of the ITAR and will recommend reforms that would bring America's export control regime back into line with the …
