50 ans de droit de l’espace
50 Years of Space Law

Summary/Abstract: In 1957, the launch of Sputnik gave birth to the first space law rules recognized as international customs: the freedom of outer space and the non-appropriation of outer space. Since then, UN adopted five treaties containing major legal principles including a liability regime. Furthermore, specific legal texts have been adopted to regulate space applications such as telecommunications, television and remote sensing. In order to promote developpment of futures activities in outer space, new rules need to be implemented in the field of space security, space tourism and legal regime for exploitation of celestial bodies’ resources
