Abstract

The new space race, now played by several private companies and remarkable Asian new players, raises new considerations regarding the fair, enjoyable, sustainable, and economically feasible use of space products and their environment: the planet’s atmosphere and outer space. Inspired by the successful (but not easy nor cheap) path coursed by aviation, this article seeks to present a brief history of both industries (air and space) and the available legal framework for space matters in Brazil, Europe, the USA, and at the United Nations level. Lastly, this work discusses the necessity of creating an organization at the molds of ICAO (International Civil Aviation Organization) in the space sector to promote standardization and harmonization among players all around the globe involved in space operations.
