- Abstract
- Who owns space? Whether this question is answered by no one, everyone or anyone, it is worth asking. Space law is at a turning point of its history. As technologies evolve, private companies and businesses have their eyes on resources and opportunities happening in outer space. This article aims to see what legal tools can be given to space law to confront its new challenges. One way could be to use the notion of common heritage of mankind, developed by the international law of the sea, and to create an international authority accordingly. Another way could be to grant legal personhood to space and to appoint representatives to defend its rights and interests at a global level.
