“…Historically, the space regulations have primarily come from national governments, in the form of national legislation, policies and practices, and bilateral agreements. 49 Artemis Accords are unique in that they propose broadscale changes to assumptions about space exploration (such as the sanctioning of private companies mining for profit in space) by way of a network of bilateral agreements. Some have accused the United States of attempting to change international norms around space exploration without commencing negotiations on space mining within the UN Committee on the Peaceful Uses of Outer Space, which has been used to draft past major space treaties in the 1960s and 1970s.…”

African nations are early in their space development and are not currently prepared to compete with space powers in competition to exploit space resources. Activities in space to date have been regulated under the 1967 Outer Space Treaty, which is vague in its approach to exploitation of space resources. The United States has recently established a framework for private exploitation of space resources via the Artemis Accords and its associated network of bilateral agreements. These frameworks could also provide for an economy enabling environment for member nations that could provide African companies a lower barrier to entry to the space economy than their peers. This article investigates potential impacts of frameworks such as the Artemis Accords on African Union states.

“…Space technologies used for remote sensing are equipped with sensors which can be used by scientists to observe the properties of electromagnetic waves emitted, reflected, or diffracted by the sensed objects. These waves are then studied further to identify and/or classify the aforementioned objects (Dunk and Tronchetti, 2015).…”

Background: Space technologies have been used in each aspect of mankind’s life, including health. The United Nations Committee on the Peaceful Uses of Outer Space (UNCOPUOS) has instigated several programs to address how space technologies can contribute to global health.Aims: This article deepened the understanding of how space technology contributes to global health and identified how it may be used in the context of COVID-19.Results: This research identified four different domains of space technology that can or may contribute to global health, which are remote sensing, global navigation satellite system, satellite communication, and human space flight. Generally, these four domains can track disease outbreaks and help mitigate its spread such as by minimizing patient contact with medical personnel. They also keep daily activities such as communication and work afloat. Future developments in space technologies may prove to have an even bigger role to minimize spread.Conclusion: Space technologies are invaluable in helping healthcare personnel and governments track the disease’s sources and spread. Also, they can identify locations with the most damage, and thus immediate actions can be taken. Keywords: geographic information system, infectious disease, outbreak, remote sensing, space technology.

“…It is often pointed out that establishing fault in the on-orbit collision is difficult. 61 The most notable case is the collision between Iridium and Cosmos. In 2009, the then-active United States' satellite, Iridium 33, ran into the inactive Russian Federation satellite, Cosmos 2251.…”

As the orbit in outer space becomes denser, the drive to actively preserve the outer space increases. Active debris removal is the answer to this issue. It serves solemn purposes to maintain the space environment and prevent collision between space objects. This action requires high-level technology and techniques which make it prone to accidents. This article examines the applicability of Liability Convention of 1972 and Indonesian Space Act of 2013 for active debris removal and whether its provisions are sufficient for any future legal issues on this matter. A normative juridical method is used for the analysis. The Space Act from other States like France and Austria will also be briefly mentioned and compared to. At the end, it is concluded that although both of the legal instruments are suitable and applicable for active debris removal, there are still some essential aspects that need to be defined namely property and proof of fault. The paper suggests that it should be emphasized that only catalogued debris can be regarded as property, and that the term “fault” at the minimum should have a modest definition that captures the “deviation from the normal operation”.
