Dedicated to improving the quality of legal practice in Colorado's federal courts.
This webinar will provide a practical overview of the legal framework governing activities in outer space, from the principal international treaties to the U.S. agencies that regulate launch, communications, remote sensing, and related activities. It will examine how liability may arise from manufacturing, launch, and flight in orbit, then consider the industry and economic landscape behind these legal issues. It will also introduce the financing approaches used to fund costly, high-risk space technology and infrastructure, and discuss emerging issues likely to shape future law and policy. With the U.S. space economy contributing more than $142 billion to GDP, lawyers advising—or seeking to advise—this broad and growing industry should attend to understand the legal issues shaping its future.
