OSL - Outer Space Law for International Cooperation and Sustainable Development

 

Agreement between the Italian Space Agency and the Department of Political Sciences, Sapienza University of Rome

The research project OSL - Outer Space Law for International Cooperation and Sustainable Development is carried out within the scientific cooperation between Sapienza University of Rome and the Italian Space Agency.

The research is focused on three main areas: 1) the analysis of the legal instruments of international cooperation for the development of space activities, especially in the context of  international relations between Italy and Kenya on the Broglio Space Centre; 2) the identification of the most suitable national regulatory and institutional framework for the specific needs of Italy and Kenya; 3) the study of the rules applicable to mini satellites, with particular reference to the 1KUNS-Kenya Sat project, born from the collaboration between the Italian Space Agency, Sapienza University and the University of Nairobi.
