Guest Speakers: Winfried Huck
Summary: In the first half of the video, Winfried talks about the legal implication regarding space debris. As more and more nations and organizations launch satellites into space, it becomes incumbent upon us to develop a proper regulatory and legal framework for space debris. This is particularly so since there is currently no binding international treaty on space debris. In the second half of the video, Winfried discusses the need for space law regulating the mining of raw materials from asteroids and planets. Who owns asteroids’ mining rights? Can private entities or nations claim ownership of asteroids? Learn about the current legal aspects of space mining rights in this video.
