SPACE LAW EXPLAINED

by Robin Scott
Last October, the Phoenix chapter of the NSS and Tucson L5 Space Society (TL5SS) gathered to hear the space law event organized by TL5SS Vice President Ron Nickel. Their guest, Dr. Edythe E. Weeks, serves as adjunct faculty at Washington University, Webster University, and Northern Arizona University and teaches courses on a wide variety of subjects within the discipline of political science and international relations. Weeks is also a Fulbright Specialist in international relations and space law, having completed two projects—one in Siberia in 2015 and another in Mexico in 2016. She was elected into the International Institute of Space Law (IISL) in 2004. Her presentation provided a historical view of space law and insights about the politics behind the legal regime governing space development.
