The continuous development of new and emerging modes of aerospace transportation brings to the forefront the long-standing issue of an international legal boundary between the airspace and outer space legal regimes. The normative issues associated with these vehicles that are capable of seamless operation within both the airspace and outer space give rise to important questions pertaining, but not limited, to safety, security, certification, navigation and communication services, liability, infrastructure etc.
The Conference organizers are extending a Call for Papers aiming to discuss and critically analyze the current situation and corresponding legal challenges, as well as suggest viable options for policy and regulation mechanisms addressing and safeguarding the needs of the aviation, space and aerospace sector.
