Read the latest issue of Start Magazine, featuring Prof. Marchisio’s contribution on the legal regime applicable to lunar activities

  • 15 July 2024

📣 🚀 Spazio ultima frontiera – Economia, geopolitica e tecnologie is the topic of the latest issue of Start Magazine, a quarterly journal dedicated to innovation, technologies and economy.

📚 This issue is dedicated to space activities and offers a multi-perspective analysis of how emerging technologies are revolutionizing industrial sectors and economic development. Furthermore, it highlights the legal and political evolutions of the space sector and its applications, as well as the significance of space for national security and European and global challenges.

Legal aspects are the core of Sergio Marchisio’s contribution, titled Esplorazione e uso della luna, le regole da definire, which clarifies the legal regime applicable to lunar activities, focusing on the fundamental principles of the international regime provided for by the 1967 Outer Space Treaty, including the freedom of use of space and the limits that this entails, to prevent and mitigate damages and allow all States to exercise this freedom.

In this context, Marchisio underlines the importance of the Artemis Accords, which introduce new principles on the sustainability and safety of space activities, promote transparency, interoperability, and sharing of scientific data, and help reducing the uncertainty surrounding recovery and the use of lunar resources. Due to the substantial irrelevance of the 1979 Moon Agreement, these rules and principles constitute the applicable legal regime, which deserves further reflection to address the more concrete legal aspects.

Don’t miss the opportunity to delve into topics related to the future of space activities. This issue is available in open access 👉 https://www.startmag.it/wp-content/uploads/SM_2_2024.pdf
