우주 개발이 시작된 1950~1960년대부터 국제 사회는 우주 활동에 대한 법적 규범을 만들기 시작했습니다. 주요 배경:
정식 명칭: "달과 기타 천체를 포함한 외기권의 탐사와 이용에 있어서 국가 활동을 규율하는 원칙에 관한 조약"
현재 111개국이 비준한 우주법의 기본 틀이며, 다음과 같은 핵심 원칙을 담고 있습니다:
| 조항 | 내용 | 의미 |
|---|---|---|
| 제1조 | 우주는 전 인류의 영역 | 모든 국가가 자유롭게 탐사 및 이용 가능 |
| 제2조 | 우주는 국가 전유 불가 | 어떤 국가도 달이나 천체에 주권 주장 불가 |
| 제3조 | 국제법 적용 | UN 헌장과 국제법이 우주에도 적용 |
| 제4조 | 핵무기 배치 금지 | 대량살상무기를 우주에 배치 또는 천체에 설치 금지 |
| 제6조 | 국가 책임 | 민간 기업 활동도 국가가 책임 |
제2조는 "천체는 국가 전유(national appropriation)의 대상이 될 수 없다"고 명시합니다. 하지만 이것이 영토 주권을 금지한 것인지, 자원 채굴까지 금지한 것인지는 명확하지 않습니다.
정식 명칭: "달과 기타 천체에서의 국가 활동을 규율하는 협정"
우주조약을 보완하기 위해 채택되었으나, 주요 우주 강국(미국, 러시아, 중국)이 비준하지 않아 실효성이 낮습니다. 비준국은 18개국에 불과합니다.
정식 명칭: "U.S. Commercial Space Launch Competitiveness Act (SPACE Act)"
2015년 오바마 대통령이 서명한 이 법은 역사상 처음으로 민간 기업과 개인이 우주 자원을 소유할 수 있는 권리를 명시했습니다.
이는 공해(公海)에서 물고기를 잡는 것과 유사합니다. 누구도 바다를 소유할 수 없지만, 잡은 물고기는 소유 가능합니다.
룩셈부르크는 유럽 최초로 우주 자원 소유권을 인정하는 법을 제정했습니다.
NASA 주도로 2020년 발표된 달 탐사 국제 협력 원칙:
미국, 일본, 캐나다, 영국, 이탈리아, 호주, 룩셈부르크, UAE, 한국, 브라질, 폴란드 등 30개국 이상
지구 광산 개발처럼 우주 채굴도 환경 영향을 고려해야 합니다:
