OSI Submission on Core Principles for Space Resource Activities

A team of OSI researchers has made a short submission to the Working Group on Legal Aspects of Space Resource Activities established under the United Nations Committee on the Peaceful Uses of Outer Space (UN COPUOS).

The submission focuses on identifying existing core principles for space resource activities. It does not analyse these core principles, nor does it provide a comprehensive overview of all of the rules and principles that may potentially be relevant to space resource activities. This limited scope is consistent with the current ambitions of the Working Group, which also focus on core principles.

Moby’s Recommendations on Lunar and Cislunar Security

On March 1 and 2, 2024, the Outer Space Institute convened a group of experts (the Expert Group) from a variety of backgrounds, disciplines, and countries on Salt Spring Island, Canada, to discuss existing and foreseeable security-related challenges arising from activities on and around the Moon.

The Moby’s Recommendations on Lunar and Cislunar Security – named after one of the venues in which the Expert Group met – are the result of those discussions and are directed toward governments, inter-governmental and nongovernmental organizations, and other space actors.
