Studies on Space Law and Policy

What is the future of the International Space Station? What are stealth satellites and how do they influence trust and deterrence? How is international space law developing? How can we use space in a sustainable way and how can we measure the progress? How are East Asian nations developing their space capabilities? How can we regulate economic and military activity in space? These are all relevant questions in the new space age, when many possibilities open for humankind but also lots of trials and challenges await us. The young professionals presenting a part of their work in this conference paper wish to contribute to the discussion about space, each in their respective field. The papers compiled do not intend to give a definitive, rigid answer instead they are about raising questions, offering new perspectives and starting a discussion with laypersons and professionals alike. We encourage the reader to engage with the texts, investigate and most importantly: ask their own questions.
