Described as the final frontier of human exploration, and the last bastion of transportation. Space travel is at the bleeding edge of innovation on multiple fronts, whether it’s in the scientific methods used to send spacecraft into orbit, or the technology required to land and operate billion-dollar machinery on foreign planets. India has one of the world’s most advanced and successful space programmes, with several payloads launched successfully into the orbits of both Earth and Mars, as well as an impact probe that discovered water on the surface of the Moon.
Space exploration is still relatively young and sparsely regulated, and the legal nuances are still being worked out as we speak. It involves many complex considerations including international agreements, treaties, and rules and regulations.
