The Common Interest In The Exploration, Use And Exploitation Of Outer Space For Peaceful Purposes: The Soviet-American Dilemma, Carl Q. Christol

Akron Law Review

It may be supposed that the final disposition of the use of anti-satellite satellites (ASAT) will take the form of an international agreement which would prescribe required conduct and which would meet the national interests of the signatories. Some attention might be given to a possible alternative. One suggestion is for each of the superpowers to announce that it will pursue a given policy provided the same policy is adhered to by the other. Or, perhaps the promulgation of a national position, for example, a moratorium on ASAT launches, if rigorously adhered to by the other State, might lead to …

Prospects For The Demilitarization Of The Manned Space Station, Hamilton Desaussure

Akron Law Review

An incremental approach to the complete disarmament of outer space could continue with the prohibition of any type of military activity on board earth orbiting manned space stations. The U.S. and the USSR are committed to placing such stations in permanent orbit within the next decade. An international agreement giving demilitarized status to them would be a major achievement.

Article IV of the Outer Space Treaty prohibits the establishment of military bases, installations, and fortifications on the moon and other celestial bodies. Manned space stations in earth orbit should be subject to the same limitations, with military personnel permitted for …

Charting The Course For Use Of Small Unmanned Aerial Systems In Newsgathering, Mickey H. Osterreicher

Pepperdine Law Review

News organizations and individual journalists eagerly anticipate safely utilizing Small Unmanned Aerial Systems (sUAS) for newsgathering purposes as lawmakers integrate sUAS into the National Air Space (NAS). For now, these potential users may be flying over an "unchartered" regulatory landscape while the FAA struggles to complete its administrative rulemaking. In order to better understand how media organizations and individual journalists intend to use sUAS for newsgathering purposes, the National Press Photographers Association (NPPA) developed a survey consisting of twenty-one multiple choice questions, with space for elaboration, and three questions seeking narrative responses. The survey was distributed via email to approximately …

Legal Aspects Of Navigation: The Cases For Privacy And Liability: An Introduction For Non-Lawyers, Frans G. Von Der Dunk

Space, Cyber, and Telecommunications Law Program: Faculty Publications

Navigation making use of advanced technologies—notably involving radiowaves providing precise information on positioning, navigation options, and on the surrounding geographic environment—has become an ever more present phenomenon in today’s societies. Needless to say, this raises also a number of profound legal issues, some more general in nature, some more specific to the navigation sector or even a specific subsector thereof, alternatively taking on a specific flavor once arising in that context. Among those, arguably the issues of privacy and protection of data against undue interference, respectively liability for erroneous positioning, navigation, or environmental information and any damage or loss suffered …

Waste And Duplication In Nasa Programs: The Need To Enhance U.S. Space Program Efficiency, Bert Chapman

Libraries Faculty and Staff Scholarship and Research

The U.S. Government faces acute budgetary deficits and national debt problems in the Obama Administration. These problems have been brought about by decades of unsustainable government spending affecting all agencies including the National Aeronautics and Space Administration. (NASA). An outgrowth of this fiscal profligacy is the presence of wasteful and duplicative programs within NASA that prevent this agency from achieving its space science and human spaceflight objectives. These problems occur due to mismanagement of these programs from NASA and the creation of these programs by the U.S. Congress and congressional committees. This occurs because congressional appropriators tend to be more …

Pirker And Beyond: Questions Of Policy Versus Law On Unmanned Aerial Systems (Uas), Sarah Nilsson

Aviation / Aeronautics / Aerospace International Research Conference

The regulatory versus policy landscape for unmanned aerial system (UAS) users in the United States (US), as of February 2015, is not an easy one to navigate. The whole country is buzzing with the sound of this new technology, not just in terms of engine noise but more so in terms of the public outcry to the invasion of privacy. The federal government is currently drafting laws that will safely integrate these systems within the National Airspace System (NAS). Concurrently, at least 20 states, unable to wait patiently in the sidelines for such legislation, have implemented their own statutes to …

Assessing The Commercial Aviation Impact Of The Year 2000 Open Skies Agreements Between The United States And African Countries With Longstanding Flights, Tyler B. Spence, Micah Walala, Richard O. Fanjoy

Aviation / Aeronautics / Aerospace International Research Conference

The U.S. started a comprehensive campaign towards Open Skies agreement in 1992. The major benefits of Open sky agreement are reported to include increase of passenger and cargo volume between partners. This study analyzes passenger traffic and cargo volume between six African countries that have had commercial aviation with the U.S. since 1990 to 2014, and with direct flights between them. Two of the countries have had no Open Skies agreement with the U.S., while four have had Open Skies agreement beginning in 2000. A multi linear modeling process was applied on the two categories to determine whether there is …

An Overreaction That Destroyed An Industry: The Past, Present, And Future Of U.S. Satellite Export Controls, Kurtis J. Zinger

University of Colorado Law Review

In the past, the United States' satellite export control regime has acted as a barrier to entry for the commercial space industry and has stifled the growth of space startups that are beginning to become more common as access to space becomes more affordable. Within the span of two decades, agency responsibility for satellite exports has changed hands multiple times for economic, political, and national security reasons. In 2013, Congress passed a bill authorizing the President of the United States to determine which regulations govern satellite exports. President Obama, the State Department, and the Commerce Department are taking full advantage …

Development Fee In India Airports - A Case Study, Moses George

Journal of Air Law and Commerce

Privatization of airports owned by the Airport Authority of India (AAI) was intended to bring in private capital and thereby improve airport standards and reduce high airport costs in India. This Article will analyze the post-privatization economic scenario, specifically with regards to a new category of airport levy, called the development fee (DF), in light of the Supreme Court of India's decision on the issue. This article discusses various legal and regulatory issues connected with this levy, especially as they relate to international and domestic guidelines regarding airport charges, including International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) documents, the Chicago Convention, the …
