Our Display on Space Law is "Out of This World"

On July 29, 1958 (56 years ago), the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) was created by Congressional legislation. July 20, 1969 marked the Apollo 11 moon landing, when man first set foot on the lunar surface.  In remembrance of these historic July events, the Law Library invites you to explore our new display featuring print and electronic resources in the field of Space Law.

The display highlights the Journal of Space Law, available via HeinOnline, as well as print resources available in the library, including The Little Book of Space Law, by Matthew Kleiman. This brief title (183 p.), provides an introduction to various topics in the area of Space Law, including orbital debris, cyber warfare in space, environmental issues, and ownership of celestial resources. 

For those interested in conducting more research in the area of Space Law, consider consulting a Space Law Research Guide, such as this one, created by the Cleveland-Marshall College of Law Library.  For news and current awareness, check out Res Communis, the blog of the National Center for Remote Sensing, Air, and Space Law, at the University of Mississippi School of Law.  For fun, visit NASA's Image of the Day Gallery.
