Abstract

‘Space law’ is the body of law that oversees space-related exercises, including global and home-grown arrangements, laws and guidelines. This paper aims to discuss the origin and the evolution of Space Laws, as a field of International Jurisprudence. It discusses various International Treaties in the field of Space Laws which include- The Outer Space Treaty, Rescue Agreement, Moon Treaty and many such other Multilateral Treaties which form the basis of International Space Laws. This paper also covers India’s position to all these treaties and how they have affected the growth of the Space Sector in India. Moreover, it discusses the latest development made in the field of Space Laws at the Municipal Level in India, and what is the Legislatures vision for the future of Space Jurisprudence in the country. In the end, few suggestions are given on ways to boost the Space Sector in India with the need to make the Indian Space Sector future proof. Also, the need for International Space Treaties to be regularly updated is also highlighted keeping in light the speed of innovation and scientific developments happening across the globe on a daily basis
