Their short development times, low cost, significant miniaturisation, standardisation and commercial availability have truly revolutionised the space industry. They make space accessible to non-professionals and on an individual level. This book is the first to explore the status of small satellites vis- -vis international space law, examining which provisions are applicable and what kind of legal issues the traditional definitions pose when considering novel small satellites activities.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe author sheds clear light on current regulatory challenges raised by the commercial and research activities of small satellites as well as by governmental and military applications. She covers the legal implications in such aspects of the small satellites revolution as the following: \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eliability for damage caused or suffered by small satellites;\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eState responsibility for non-governmental space activities employing small satellites;\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eregistration of space objects;\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003elaunch practices;\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eonline availability of components and launch slots;\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003ethe connection between small satellites and space debris;\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003ethe role of space insurance; and\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003elegal challenges posed by large constellations of small satellites.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003eIn the course of the description and analysis, the author provides case studies showing how these challenges can be dealt with, offers deeply informed insights on emerging trends and future developments and indicates which jurisdictions may be most favourable to small satellite activities.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe small satellites market is booming, and both States and industry are in need of guidance relating to the regulatory situation.
