Abstract

With the development of technologies, space activities are becoming more diverse. There are many commercially profitable types of activities in which many legal entities from different countries take part. Given the high cost of space activities, a considerable number of multinational corporations with significant funds and capable of purchasing the most advanced technologies participate in it. Meanwhile, International Space Law was formed from the very beginning as an interstate one. Will the activities of legal entities, including multinational corporations, be regulated by International Law? The authors believe that there is no general rule, the position of legal entities is regulated by state agreements in each specific case.

Keywords
