5 December 2918 at the Cosmos Club in Washington, D.C.<\/em><\/p>\n

On 5 December, at the Cosmos Club in Washington, D.C., over one hundred attendees joined multiple speakers from across the international space law communities for a very successful 13th Annual IISL Eilene M. Galloway Symposium on Critical Issues in Space Law<\/a><\/em>.\u00a0 The speakers and keynotes throughout the day highlighted the challenges of the development of both domestic and international space law and the interaction of space law with physics, regulation, commercial development, robotic and human exploration, and political philosophy.<\/p>\n

Kevin O’Connell, Director of the Office of Space Commerce spoke on how the Trump Administration is seeking to define \u201clight touch, permissive regulation\u201d that enables space commerce.\u00a0 The two morning panel discussions focused on the interactions of law, technology, and physics as governments and companies seek to provide space traffic management.\u00a0 Representatives from the U.S. State Department and the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics presented and discussed the relationship between the legal concept of ‘due regard’ and the physical definition of the Karman Line (the altitude(s) where air space ends and outer space begins).<\/p>\n

Secure World Foundation’s new Executive Director, Peter Martinez updated the Symposium on the status and next steps of the U.N. Committee on the Peaceful Uses of Outer Space’s Long-Term Sustainability Guidelines<\/a>.\u00a0 Having reached consensus among 87 member states on 21 guidelines in Vienna in June 2018, the process now moves to national implementation.<\/p>\n

The afternoon panels featured discussions of careers in the space law field, the rule of law across legal cultures in Asia, the Middle East, and the West, and finally legal solutions for international partnerships in exploration.\u00a0 In memoriam, the Symposium also presented the IISL Lifetime Achievement Award to the family of Dr. George S. Robinson<\/a>, longtime IISL member and major supporter of the Manfred Lachs Space Law Moot Court Competition<\/a>.<\/p>\n
