A Compact Access to Space Law

Space Law Essentials (Vol.1 Textbook & Vol. 2 Casebook) presents the theory and practice of space law in a modern, user-oriented format. It stands apart from existing space law literature since it is the first book that introduces space law in a compact and comprehensible manner; explains the legal issues that may arise during the lifecycle of a space mission; uses –> cross-references to facilitate ‘diagonal reading’;

shows how space law and technology intertwine; addresses law students and space practitioners alike.
