Space Science Council

       
 

Space being a limitless yet intriguing place, taking a single pathway for the solutions may not be the norm for this council. Rather, it would be best approached by prompting as many conversations as possible. Establishing a viable set of regulations for the use space arms, space energy resources, property rights, astronaut safety, space tourism and other such issues is what we aim to achieve as council members. The committee aspires to foster private and public collaborations, in pursuit of greater harmony, as we approach the zenith of space exploration in the next 50 years.


While space probe yields a multitude of opportunities, in today's world, anything can be subject to something egregious. Be it the agony of weapon and disaster we might carry along, or just as simple as human rights being violated with the increase of space tourism. And without proper supervision of these activities, we may fall further into the rabbit hole of mass destruction. An agreement for 'what can and cannot' be done in space is required. We expect all parties involved in the preparation of the upcoming human expansion into space to establish and explore the scope of international relations so that we may tackle these problems as soon as possible.


In a broader sense, space law can be defined as an interdisciplinary collection of many sorts of instituted legislation that control or apply to man's interactions or activities in the "outer space" realm. The existing international legal and governance framework, which was largely developed during a distinctive era of space activities, is now under pressure to provide the indispensable certainty, standards, and protections to appropriately address specific uses of space resources that have emerged because of recently evolving space technologies. Can existing national laws or regulations be classified as enabling the development of sustainable and self-sustaining space activities? Or is there a need to improve upon the directives, and bring forth novel solutions to these issues?
On that account, we expect the Space science council to propagate discussions about plausible resolutions keeping in mind the multi-faceted range of subject matter that comes with the topic of space. We look forward to witnessing member states and companies initiating such dialogues, to, in conclusion, create a set of sustainable and justifiable protocols that would necessitate prompt action from the international community, and safeguard space pursuits in the future.
