New U.S. Asteroid Mining Law May Comply w/ Outer Space Treaty of 1967
The Board of Directors of the International Institute of Space Law
(IISL) has issued a position paper concluding that a new U.S. law that
grants property rights to resources mined from asteroids or other space
objects by U.S. companies does not violate the 1967 Outer Space Treaty.
