Abstract
Canada's claim against the Soviet Union for compensation for damages caused by the re-entry and crash in 1978 of the Soviet satellite, Cosmos 954, was based primarily on the 1972 Convention on International Liability for Damage Caused by Space Objects (hereinafter referred to as the Liability Convention) and also on the Agreement on the Rescue of Astronauts, the Return of Astronauts and the Return of Objects (hereinafter referred to as the Rescue and Return Agreement). It gave rise to several legal issues concerning the interpretation of these conventions. They are of relevance to states seeking compensation for damage caused by space debris.
