Studies On Creating A Legal Regime For The Exploitation Of Celestial Resources In The Outer Space

With the speeding up of the process of human exploration of space, the outer space has become an important area of state activities, therefore, the "Aerospace economy" will be more and more important in the future. And celestial resources in the outer space, as one of the most strategic value resources nowadays, will become the core of "Aerospace economy". So, the development of celestial resources in the outer space has become a matters which all countries focus on. In addition, it is because of the lack of people doing systematic study on development of outer space objects resources in China, if any, most researches focus on some certain aspects (like coinheritance property of human) or focus on some certain object(like the moon). therefore, I choose to "creating a legal regime for the exploitation of celestial resources in the outer space" as the research object of this article. In this paper, the "outer space" refers to the whole universe except the atmosphere; "celestial resources" refers to the all sorts of natural resources in the outer space,which mainly include all kinds of mineral resources and energy resources.There are six structure parts in this paper. The first part deeply discusses about if there is research necessary of my topic, just to discuss whether outer space objects resources, considering all the factors, can be developed by human and the necessity of its development. In the second part, I use standard analysis and inductive analysis of existing related legal documents, such as The Outer Space Treaty, The Moon Agreement, The Declaration of Cooperation to do review and standard analysis, then to make a conclusion about whether there is insufficiency in the existing legal system of outer space objects resources development and what insufficiency exists. The third, the fourth and the fifth parts are the core content of this article, they mainly provide advice or solutions towards the above insufficiency. The third part is the conclusion of the rules of outer space objects resources development. In it, I mainly use the research method of inductive reasoning to analyze the principles determined in the field; The fourth part mainly discusses how to build the outer space resources development and management institutions and build what kind of management organization mode, in this part, I use the way of comparative study to study the management modes, including International Space Management Administration and Development Company and determine which management organization should be built and put forward construction scheme through the in-depth analysis of the International Seabed Authority pattern. The fifth part is the introduction of the several core systems of the outer space resources development and management mechanism, including the licensing system regulating the actions of the development, the liability regulation system of responsibility in the process of development and the dispute settlement system produced in the development of outer space resources. The sixth part is the conclusion and summary of my article.The value of this article lies in the specific system design for the legal regime of exploitation about the outer space resources, which is useful to solve the legal problems encountered which our country explore the celestial resources in the outer space in the future.
