ABSTRACT

Given the growth of space activities by developing countries and the increasing participation of the private sector in space activities, negotiations on a possible international instrument that is legally binding and clearly defines commercial activities related to space can play an important role in developing the use of space and stimulating space activities for the benefit of humanity. Thus, the current space challenges, which may create a new international interplanetary space order, should open up more opportunities for developing countries, especially in terms of space cooperation, use and exploitation of space and its resources. This new interplanetary order would put an end to the “first come, first served” principle and would implement Article 1 of the outer space treaty, which states that space is the prerogative of all mankind.
