Innovation in Outer Space: International and African Legal Perspective: 5th &amp; 6th Luxembourg Workshops on Space and Satellite Communication Law

Prof. Dr. Mahulena Hofmann; Prof. Dr. P.J. Blount LL.M.

doi:10.5771/9783845290256

Summary

Der Band präsentiert die Ergebnisse zweier Workshops zum “Space and Satellite Communication Law” an der Universität Luxemburg.

Neben Fortschritten bei der Erforschung des Weltraums, wurden insbesondere innovative Nutzungsarten des Alls diskutiert – und welche rechtlichen Auswirkungen hieraus entstehen.

In Zusammenhang mit der vermehrten Nutzung der Weltraumtechnik, wurden die Innovationsprozesse auf dem afrikanischen Kontinent diskutiert. Der wachsende Bedarf an Weltraumdiensten, mobiler Satellitenkommunikation, Internetzugang, Katastrophenmanagement und Navigation verlangt ebenfalls nach rechtlichen Regelungen.
