Abstract

The commercialization of outer space that has taken place intensively in the last two decades has been directing space law to be more responsive to private and commercial issues. Indonesia has been carrying out activities in space since 1976, namely the launch of the PALAPA Communication Satellite series and plans to build a space launch facility that will start operating in 2040. To date, there has been no specific regulation regarding the commercial space activities in Indonesia whereas commercial space activities will cause legal problems that need to be anticipated. This study will explore the regulation on the commercial space activities under the Outer Space Treaty 1967 and its implementation on the development of space industry in Indonesia. This study concluded that the Outer Space Treaty of 1967 implicitly justifies commercial space activities. However, this treaty still requires further elaboration, particularly in the form of regulations on commercial space activities. The establishment of commercial space activities regulations would then encourage the development of space industry in Indonesia as the potential for the development of space industry in Indonesia is very high. This study uses normative legal research, which is primarily based on the secondary data that relates to the commercialization of outer space.
