Regulating a Revolution : Small Satellites and the Law of Outer Space

'Regulating a Revolution' sheds light on the current regulatory aspects and challenges of small satellite activities. In recent years, small satellites have taken the space industry by storm. Their short development times, low cost, significant miniaturisation, standardisation and commercial availability have truly revolutionised the space industry. They make space accessible to non-professionals and on an individual level. This book is the first to explore the status of small satellites vis-?vis international space law, examining which provisions are applicable and what kind of legal issues the traditional definitions pose when considering novel small satellite activities.
