Popis: | The problem of using the environment for present and future generations, of course, applies to space activities. Space activity contributes to sustainable development. However, despite the enormous benefi ts this activity also has a negative impact both on the Earth’s biosphere (the earth’s surface, surface and ground water, vegetation, living organisms, atmosphere, the ozone layer), and on near-Earth space. This paper examines national and international legal framework to support sustainable development during space activity. Emphasis is placed on analysis of recent international legal instruments related to space security: «Guidelines for Space Debris Mitigation» (2007) «Framework for the safe use of nuclear power sources in outer space» (2009). Proposed the establishment of a special international instrument to address environmental damage compensation from the rocket and space activities. Expressed caution against extrapolating national environmental legislation on international relations. |
