The purpose of the article is to prove the expediency of considering the domestic space legislation of the United States, which nowadays consists of ten national laws, to be the comparative basis for the public space law. The author reveals the definition of domestic (national) public space law. The author believes that domestic public space law can successfully resolve the issues of effective and safe use of space by the private sector, the struggle against space debris, the recovery of asteroid or space resources, etc. Keywords: asteroid, law, space debris, outer space, national public space law, private space companies, satellite Received: September 11, 2019; accepted: October 07, 2019 Advanced Space Law, Volume 4, 2019: 5-18 https://doi.org/10.29202/asl/2019/4/1 Introduction Today, the development of space law and legislation is gaining momentum and becoming more relevant, because after the entry into space of private space companies, international law, which was approved in the middle of the twentieth century, is not able to resolve the challenges facing the world space community. Most private space companies are registered and operate in the USA. Moreover, only the US has such a great number of domestic space laws. The USA reasonably claim the leadership in the field of national space legislation. They practically propose their law-making developments as objective models for comparative borrowing by other states. One more challenge that is already accepted in the norms of US law is the permit for US citizens to engage in commercial recovery of an asteroid or space resource, which will grant them the right to own, transport, use and dispose of it, in accordance with international obligations of the United States. Also a significant challenge in this area is the necessity of the analysis of the basics of military space law and improvement of legislation on space debris and its utilization. © Halunko, Valentyn, 2019 Advanced Space Law, Volume 4, 2019 5 Domestic (National) Public Space Law of the USA.

  • Exploration of the Moon
    Exploration of the Moon The physical exploration of the Moon began when Luna 2, a space probe launched by the Soviet Union, made an impact on the surface of the Moon on September 14, 1959. Prior to that the only available means of exploration had been observation from Earth. The invention of the optical telescope brought about the first leap in the quality of lunar observations. Galileo Galilei is generally credited as the first person to use a telescope for astronomical purposes; having made his own telescope in 1609, the mountains and craters on the lunar surface were among his first observations using it. NASA's Apollo program was the first, and to date only, mission to successfully land humans on the Moon, which it did six times. The first landing took place in 1969, when astronauts placed scientific instruments and returnedlunar samples to Earth.

Contents Early history Space race Recent exploration Plans Past and future lunar missions See also References External links Early history The ancient Greek philosopher Anaxagoras (d. 428 BC) reasoned that the Sun and Moon were both giant spherical rocks, and that the latter reflected the light of the former. His non-religious view of the heavens was one cause for his imprisonment and eventual exile.[1] In his little book On the Face in the Moon's Orb, Plutarch suggested that the Moon had deep recesses in which the light of the Sun did not reach and that the spots are nothing but the shadows of rivers or deep chasms.

  • “Peace: the Final Frontier,” Kim Peart
    Journal of Space Philosophy 6, no. 1 (Fall 2017) Peace: The Final Frontier By Kim Peart Space has often been referred to as the final frontier, but to survive in space, we will need peace on Earth, which makes peace the final frontier, if we wish to go into space. With global fanfare at a press conference in Paris on October 12, Dr Igor Ashurbeyli proposed founding a new nation, one that would be in space, called Asgardia. Over half a million curious possible citizens were attracted to Asgardia in a couple of weeks, which by itself reveals a very high level of interest on Earth in a future beyond Earth. For Asgardia to proceed as an independent nation, current laws would need to change, as the 1967 Outer Space Treaty does not permit nations to set up in space, and states: “outer space is not subject to national appropriation by claim of sovereignty, by means of use or occupation, or by any other means” and “the exploration and use of outer space shall be carried out for the benefit and in the interests of all countries and shall be the province of all [hu]mankind.”1 1 United Nations Office for Outer Space Affairs, “The Outer Space Treaty” (New York: United Nations, 1967), www.unoosa.org/oosa/en/ourwork/spacelaw/treaties/introouterspacetreaty.html. 113 Journal of Space Philosophy 6, no. 1 (Fall 2017) Considering the spirit of the Outer Space Treaty, rather than launching a new nation, could a city be built in space as a United Nations trust territory, which would be open to citizens of all nations? The first celestial city could be called Celestia, in honour of the first space nation launched by James Mangan in 1948, before the Outer Space Treaty existed, which he called the Nation of Celestial Space, or Celestia.2 The shape of the new city would be an orbital space settlement, like the space habitat illustrated by Bryan Versteeg, which would be powered by the Sun, offer protection from solar and cosmic radiation, and provide an Earth-like gravity via rotation.3 To found Celestia as a UN trust territory, the support of all nations will be sought.

  • Space Coast Is Getting Busy: 6 New Rockets Coming to Cape Canaveral, KSC
    4/16/2019 Space Coast is getting busy: 6 new rockets coming to Cape Canaveral, KSC Space Coast is getting busy: 6 new rockets coming to Cape Canaveral, Kennedy Space Center Emre Kelly, Florida Today Published 4:04 p.m. ET April 11, 2019 | Updated 7:53 a.m. ET April 12, 2019 COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. – If schedules hold, the Space Coast will live up to its name over the next two years as a half-dozen new rockets target launches from sites peppered across the Eastern Range. Company, government and military officials here at the 35th Space Symposium, an annual space conference, have reaffirmed their plans to launch rockets ranging from more traditional heavy-lift behemoths to smaller vehicles that take advantage of new manufacturing technologies. Even if some of these schedules slip, at least one thing is apparent to several spaceflight experts here: The Eastern Range is seeing an unprecedented growth in commercial space companies and efforts.

(Photo: NASA) NASA's long-awaited SLS, a multibillion-dollar rocket announced in 2011, is slated to become the most powerful launch vehicle in history if it can meet a stringent late 2020 deadline. The 322-foot-tall rocket is expected to launch on its first flight – Exploration Mission 1 – from Kennedy Space Center with an uncrewed Orion capsule for a mission around the moon, which fits in with the agency's wider goal of putting humans on the surface by 2024.

Mengkudu is a plant that has many advantages and carbohydrate content as 51,67%. Coconut fiber has high enough cellulose content as 43,44%, with high carbohydrate content and high cellulose content they can be utilized as basic ingredient in the making of bioethanol. The purpose of this research is to determine the best condition in the process of making bioethanol from them. Bioethanol was made by fermentation which was helped by bactery, that was Saccaromyches cerevisae or often known as bread yeast. The results of this research were obtained fermentation time and volume of the stater used in making bioethanol from mengkudui fruit in order to get the best content bioetanol is in 60 hours using a stater volume of 10% which produces 6.26% bioethanol, while for the manufacture of bioethanol from waste Coconut coir is at 72 hours using a 6 gr volume of starch which produces bioethanol 13.80%.

The material presented is not related to specific time schedules but provides an evolutionary sequence. The concepts of commonality of hardware and reusability of systems are introduced as keys to a low cost approach to space flight.
