Sundahl Speaks on Commercialization of Space at International Law Weekend

On September 19th, C|M|LAW Associate Dean Mark Sundahl spoke on a panel on Regulating and Incentivizing Commercial Space Markets at the International Law Weekend organized by the American Branch of the International Law Association at Washington University in St. Louis.  The panel covered a broad spectrum of issues related to the expansion of the commercial use of outer space.  Particular attention was paid to the regulation of the nascent space tourism industry and the likely legal issues that will arise when private companies, such as Virgin Galactic, begin ferrying private passengers to space in 2014.
