A Critical Study of Jurisdiction in Outer Space

It has become necessary to reevaluate the jurisdictional difficulties that are present in outer space as a result of the advent of commercial space exploration.

As a result, there are considerable gaps in the treaties when it comes to private individuals and companies.
