Abstract

Property interests and the environment in outer space – editorial note Outer space endeavours are no longer the realm of select nations and their governments. The past decade has seen significant growth in private public partnerships (PPP), with private players rapidly advancing their space travel capabilities. At the same time technical innovation has reduced the cost of access to space, enabling greater opportunity for emerging industry and nation players.
