Abstract

The number of projectiles launched into space in 2017 was 300, but in 2022, more than 2,000 projectiles are believed to be heading into space, and there are predictions that the number of satellites in low orbit at an altitude of 2,000 kilometers will exceed 57,000 by 2030. Given the recent increase in the number of space projectiles and the participation of private companies, legal amendments are essential because the number of damage caused by falling objects in Korea is expected to increase gradually. In this study, various legal applications such as the Space Damage Compensation Act and the protection of legal interests of third parties on the surface were analyzed through cases of falling objects caused by space projectiles at home and abroad, suggesting a direction for development to protect the lives and property of the people in space security.
