Space law is a branch of international law, similar to air and maritime law, but which has the specificity of being influenced by other sources of law, both of public and private character. As a consequence, the law applicable to space activities is not limited to outer space law, on the contrary, there are many other laws and regulations that should be applied as well, particularly in view of the increase in privately organised space activities and of space debris. Today's Exchange provides a broad overview of Space Law, based on an in-depth interview with ESA's Director of Legal and External Relations, Rene Oosterlinck, who is also a Professor of Space Law at Gent University in Belgium, where the interview was recorded.
