Space Law
Why do I need to know about Law and
Policy in the Aviation and Space Industry?

Space Law
«One day, human beings will walk in the skies without a plane, go to
the planets, and perhaps send us messages from the Moon. There will
be no need to wait for the year 2000 for this miracle to happen.
Developing technology is already heralding this. Our duty is to ensure
that we do not fall too far behind the West in this regard...»
Mustafa Kemal Atatürk, from his speech at the Eskişehir Tayyare
regiment in 1936

Space Law
While some of us watch the Moon and stars in the sky with curiosity,
we dive into deeper thoughts. We have asked questions like: What are
these? What's there? Where did we come from? Where are we going?
When you continue to question in this way, you can often delve into
deep philosophical and religious issues regarding creation. However,
concrete scientific answers can now be given to many questions like
these.

Space Law
- Aviation is a highly capital-intensive and
specialized industry.
Risks, if not effectively managed, may be extreme
and the resolution of operational issues quite often
legally complex.
- Scope and degree of exposure of aviation
practitioners to legal liability.
‘ignorance of the law is no defence in a court of law’
- truly meaningful understanding of the law – to the
extent that you have a high degree of confidence in
what you do and the decisions you make.

Space Law
- There is no industry that is more affected, and
indeed controlled, by international standards
than is the case with the aviation industry.
- Quite unlike any other mode of transportation,

aviation activities are not restricted
by political and geographical boundaries.
The ‘internationalization’ of aviation activities.

Space Law
«Necessity is the mother of invention»
• Space law was born out of necessity.
• Almost from the time of the invention the rate of

advancement in aircraft design and performance
necessarily required the intervention of
governments from around the world to effectively
control this rampaging technology.

Space Law
The purpose and need for space law has been
fuelled by the increasing globalization,
technological advances, scientific discoveries, high
and expanding nature of aviation activities.

Space Law
Aviation practitioners will be well aware and familiar
with the aviation rules, regulations and the policies
that relate to their day-to-day duties and
responsibilities.
What will become apparent in studying this course is

the extent to which the local or domestic aviation law
of individual nations has derived from treaties and
other instruments of international air and space law.

Space Law
Moreover, since aviation, by its very nature, is to a
large extent international, its optimal benefits cannot
be realized if it is confined to national boundaries.
Therefore, it is advantageous for aviation

practitioners first to consider the law relating to
aviation in its broader international context to better

understand its application under the
domestic aviation legal regime and policies.

Space Law

Space Law
Orbit: An orbit refers to the curved path that an object, typically a celestial
body like a planet, moon, satellite, or asteroid, follows as it revolves
around another object due to gravitational attraction. Orbits are a
fundamental concept in astronomy and physics, and they are governed by
the laws of motion, particularly Isaac Newton's law of universal gravitation
and his three laws of motion. Here are some key points about orbits:
- Gravitational Attraction: Orbits are primarily shaped by the gravitational

force between two objects. In the case of planets orbiting the Sun, or
moons orbiting planets, the gravitational pull of the larger body keeps the
smaller body in a stable, elliptical path.

Space Law
- Kepler's Laws of Planetary Motion: Johannes Kepler, a German
astronomer, formulated three laws of planetary motion in the early
17th century. These laws describe the characteristics of planetary
orbits, including the fact that they are elliptical, the speed of a planet
varies as it moves in its orbit, and there is a precise mathematical
relationship between a planet's orbital period and its average
distance from the Sun.
- Types of Orbits: Orbits can take various shapes, including circular,

elliptical, parabolic, and hyperbolic. The specific type of orbit depends
on the energy and velocity of the object in motion.

Space Law
- Artificial Satellites: Man-made objects, like satellites and space
stations, can also follow orbits. These orbits are carefully calculated
to serve specific purposes, such as communication, Earth
observation, or scientific research.
- Stable Orbits: Objects in stable orbits, like the planets in our solar
system, continuously revolve around their central body without
spiraling inward or outward. This stability results from a balance
between the object's forward velocity and the gravitational force
pulling it inward.

Space Law
- Escape Velocity: To break free from an orbit and move away
from a celestial body, an object must reach a certain velocity
known as escape velocity. Escape velocity depends on the
mass of the body and the distance from the center of the
body.
- Natural and Artificial Satellites: Moons are natural satellites

that orbit planets, while artificial satellites, like those used
for communication and GPS, are human-made objects placed
into orbit around Earth or other celestial bodies.

Space Law
In summary, an orbit is the curved path that objects follow in
space due to the gravitational attraction of another body.
These orbits can take various shapes and are governed by the
laws of physics, including those formulated by Kepler and
Newton. The study of orbits is essential for understanding
the motion of celestial bodies and for practical applications
like satellite technology.
