Abstract:In order to conduct a commercial space launch or operate a commercial launch site in the U.S., it is necessary to obtain a license from the United States government. Under the 1972 United Nations Convention on International Liability for Damage Caused by Space Objects, governments are liable for injury or damage to third parties caused by launch vehicles or payloads launched under their jurisdiction. In order to control this liability and assure public safety, the United States government has created a regulatory framework for the commercial operation of both launch vehicles and launch sites.
