Abstract

  • Evolution, current status, and key future trends in the development of space activities related to space natural resource extraction, popularly known as space mining;
  • Analysis of the adequacy and inadequacy of the current global space governance regime for regulating space mining and new commercial efforts to exploit and utilize space natural resources;
  • Specific and appropriate recommendations as to global governance actions that should be taken to ameliorate current and future conditions for space mining activities, along with the forum(s) where positive action might be taken consistent with practical, technical, operational, and financial needs as well as international equity considerations in order to ensure the sustainable use of space for peaceful purposes and for the benefit of all humankind.
