Space Law As Twenty-First Century International Law, Melissa J. Durkee
Space Law As Twenty-First Century International Law, Melissa J. Durkee
Journal of Law & Innovation
Space law’s current moment reflects international law’s current moment. That is, lawmaking processes aimed at updating international space law for the commercial space age reveal three larger themes about international lawmaking in the twenty-first century. These themes are: (a) evolutive lawmaking efforts by states; (b) the parallel development of laws in different fora by different actors; and (c) interpretive entrepreneurship by private actors. The themes are interrelated. They offer one story—but not the only possible story—about how international law develops when multilateral cooperation is out of reach. Together, the themes forecast a more pluralist international legal future, demanding new forms …
Controlling Decisions On Anti-Satellite Weapons: A Policy-Oriented Perspective, Gershon Hasin
Controlling Decisions On Anti-Satellite Weapons: A Policy-Oriented Perspective, Gershon Hasin
Journal of Law & Innovation
Through the lens of policy-oriented jurisprudence, this contribution will consider the potential avenues for controlling the decisions of participants when it comes to anti-satellite (“ASAT”) weapons within and outside the formal international lawmaking process. Given that all the major space powers have tested ASAT weapons and are thus primarily exposed to the adverse effects of any further testing and the strategic detriments of further proliferation, their interests seem to align in favor of a testing prohibition and non-proliferation. In fact, the United States has proclaimed a self-ban on destructive testing and has promoted a call for an international testing ban …

From “Open Skies” To Traffic Jams In 12 Ghz: A Short History Of Satellite Radio Spectrum, Thomas Hazlett, Dongning Guo, Michael Honig
Journal of Law & Innovation
As an industry, communications satellites have traced a wobbly trajectory. Envisioned to bring revolutionary advances to telecommunications services in the U.S. Communications Satellite Act of 1962, the marketplace did open via Comsat, a public-private partnership. But the sluggish pace was revealed a decade later when progress increased substantially with the Open Skies policy. Free entry collapsed costs for wide area distribution of broadcasting services, launching the U.S. cable television industry (disrupting the TV broadcasting triopoly) in the 1980s and then direct-to-subscriber satellite TV (challenging the new incumbent cable operators) in the 1990s. In ensuing decades, however, fortunes reversed. Satellite phone …
Property Rights Over The Moon Or On The Moon? The Legality Of Space Resource Exploitation On Celestial Bodies, Frans G. Von Der Dunk
Property Rights Over The Moon Or On The Moon? The Legality Of Space Resource Exploitation On Celestial Bodies, Frans G. Von Der Dunk
Journal of Law & Innovation
One of the most debated issues in humankind’s ongoing ventures into outer space today from a legal perspective concerns the various plans and projects for long-term human settlements on the Moon and Mars and the accompanying interest in In-Situ Resource Utilization (ISRU) as part of what more commonly is known as “space mining.” Given the lack of precision of the 1967 Outer Space Treaty,1 the lack of support for the 1979 Moon Agreement,2 and the more recent enunciation of a few national laws on the matter,3 major questions arise as to the extent of the legality of commercial exploitation of …
Should Satellite Broadband Be Included In Universal Service Subsidy Programs?, Gregory L. Rosston, Scott J. Wallsten
Should Satellite Broadband Be Included In Universal Service Subsidy Programs?, Gregory L. Rosston, Scott J. Wallsten
Journal of Law & Innovation
The United States is at a pivotal moment for broadband competition, with emerging technologies like 5G fixed wireless and Low-Earth Orbit (LEO) satellites offering high-quality broadband service that can be substitutes for wireline service. LEO satellites, especially, can provide cost-effective coverage for areas otherwise very expensive to reach. Despite the quality of these services, the Universal Service Fund (USF), an $8-$9 billion annual broadband subsidy program has traditionally excluded satellite service. NTIA and state regulators also appear ready to severely limit or exclude satellite service from the large new programs designed to eliminate the digital divide. This Article will focus …
