Appendix Future Scope of the Work It is humbly accepted that the proposed draft legislation is neither an exhaustive mech- anism nor was it intended, to address all the legal issues related to various space activities in India. Legislation has to be flexible and accommodative for changes inevitable in the future. It is neither possible nor practically feasible to incorporate every minute detail in the legislation. Such details are the realm of implementing decrees or rules. Therefore, the foremost future scope of the work is an articulation of implementing decrees/rules, wherever required. The formulation of such imple- menting decrees/rules will be a techno-legal exercise inviting collective efforts from scientist, lawyers and policymakers. As expressed in the previous chapter, India has a multifaceted space programme, each facet of which involves its own distinct legality. It will be a herculean task to bring all the dimensions in one piece of legislation. It is suggested that each of them should be addressed theme-wise either through a distinct piece of legislation or rules pursuant to this legislation. To this extent, further research work can be undertaken for drafting regulations pertaining to space transportation systems; satellite com- munications; remote sensing, including data processing and distribution; satellite navigational systems; human space flight and others. Even space administration in itself can further be organized giving it in an institutional shape defining its power, functions, eligibility of administrative members; finance; budgets; ambit of activities, etc. With the completion of these future works, one can expect a dynamic, competitive, promising legal regime for space activities in India, as its space programme itself has been, comparable with any of the developed legal systems in the world. It can be anticipated that the future of space law in India is very bright and there will be no dearth of teaching and research, industry participation and job opportunities in the space sector. For such an aspiring unfolding, the need of the hour is more and more scientific research on legal issues that arise from various space activities. Legal research on space issues must be encouraged both financially and strategically, as it has been with scientific and technological research. Government and universities in India should provide projects and scholarships to motivate young minds to take up this evolving branch of law in India. © Springer Nature Singapore Pte Ltd. 2020 135 K.
