This book explains the practical hurdles entrepreneurs must face to orbit a spacecraft legally and goes on to explain what legal risks must be managed one it is in orbit. It should interest the deal makers, deal breakers, the agencies mediating orbit related disputes, and the lawyers, legislators and judges who must act when mediation fails.
