space law
Space law is an area of the law that encompasses national and international law governing activities in outer space. International lawyers have been unable to agree on a uniform definition of the term "outer space", although most lawyers agree that outer space generally begins at the lowest altitude above sea level at which objects can orbit the Earth, approximately 100 km (60 mi) (the Kármán line).
The inception of the field of space law began with the launch of the world's first artificial satellite by the Soviet Union in October 1957. Named ''Sputnik 1'', the satellite was launched as part of the International Geophysical Year. Since that time, space law has evolved and assumed more importance as humankind has increasingly come to use and rely on space-based resources.

Beginning in 1957, nations began discussing systems to ensure the peaceful use of outer space.〔(inesap.org ) Peaceful Uses of Outer Space and International Law.〕〔(UN website ) UN Resolution 1148 (XII).〕 Bilateral discussions between the United States and USSR in 1958 resulted in the presentation of issues to the UN for debate.〔〔(UN website ) UN Resolution 1348 (XIII).〕 In 1959, the UN created the Committee on the Peaceful Uses of Outer Space (COPUOS).〔(【引用サイトリンク】 United Nations Committee on the Peaceful Uses of Outer Space )〕 COPUOS in turn created two subcommittees, the Scientific and Technical Subcommittee and the Legal Subcommittee. The COPUOS Legal Subcommittee has been a primary forum for discussion and negotiation of international agreements relating to outer space.
