I. Introduction
1. At the fifty-third session of the Legal Subcommittee of the Committee on the
Peaceful Uses of Outer Space, in 2014, the Working Group on the Definition and
Delimitation of Outer Space agreed to continue to address to the Governments of
member States the following questions (see A/AC.105/1067, annex II, para. 15 (b)):
(a) Does your Government consider it necessary to define outer space and/or
to delimit airspace and outer space, given the current level of space and aviation
activities and technological development in space and aviation technologies?
(b) Does your Government consider another approach to solving this issue?
(c) Does your Government give consideration to the possibility of defining a
lower limit of outer space and/or an upper limit of airspace, recognizing at the same
time the possibility of enacting special international or national legislation relating
to a mission carried out by an object in both airspace and outer space?
2. The present document has been prepared by the Secretariat on the basis of
replies received from Norway and Ukraine.
II. Replies received from Member States
Norway
[Original: English]
[17 November 2014]
The response from Norway should be seen in the context of its range of space
activities. Currently, the only national launch activity is the launch of suborbital
sounding rockets from the rocket ranges at Andøya and Svalbard. As a consequence,
Norwegian space law and space law considerations are quite limited in scope.
Question (a). At this point in time, Norway does not have a pressing need to
introduce other definitions than what is currently standard.
Question (b). No other approaches are being studied in Norway.
Question (c). Under today’s legal regime, sounding rockets are frequently
launched from Norwegian soil for scientific measurements or technology
demonstration. These rockets have mission tasks both in airspace and outer space.
Ukraine
[Original: English]
[10 December 2014]
Question (a). The Government of Ukraine believes that, given the current pace
of development in space techniques and technologies, the absence of a definition or
delimitation of outer space causes legal uncertainty in international outer space and
airspace law. The Government of Ukraine shares the view that there is a need to
distinguish outer space from airspace. To prevent disputes between States related to
V.15-00428 3
A/AC.105/889/Add.15
State sovereignty, the issue of the line of demarcation between the two legal regimes
must be resolved.
Question (b). For now, the Government of Ukraine is not considering another
approach to resolving this issue.
Question (c). Yes.
