The law applicable to the type of space in which the aerospace object is located should prevail.

(a) Air law applies to aerospace objects moving through airspace

aerospace craft, depending on the destination of such a flight? 5

aerospace craft, depending on the destination of such a flight? 3

Question 2 Does the regime applicable to the flight of aerospace objects differ according

(b) The norms of national and international air law would apply only during Earth to Earth missions of aerospace objects, but not to aerospace objects that were intended for the exploration and use of outer space

International air law should be applied to aerospace objects while they are in the airspace of another State.

law or space law prevail during the flight of an aerospace craft, depending on the destination

In the case of passage through the territorial airspace of another State, international air law should be applied to the aerospace object.

(b) Space law applies to aerospace objects travelling through outer space.

The reply is in the affirmative since, as has been stated in the previous replies, it is considered appropriate for the moment that an aerospace object moving through airspace should be regarded as an aircraft, and air law is consequently applied to it.

Question 2 Does the regime applicable to the flight of aerospace objects differ

Nevertheless, in both cases, air law norms concerning safety of air navigation should be applicable.

Are aerospace objects while in airspace considered as aircraft, and while in outer space as spacecraft, with all the legal consequences that follow therefrom, or does either air law or space law prevail during the flight of an aerospace craft, depending on the destination of such a flight?

Question 2 Does the regime applicable to the flight of aerospace objects differ according to

Question 6. Are the norms of national and international air law applicable to an aerospace object of one State while it is in the airspace of another State?

If the definition of an aerospace object is the same as that of a space object, as defined in the Registration Convention, that treaty should apply to aerospace objects.

Of course, it is self evident that all air law rules concerning safety of air navigation should also be jointly applicable.

Question 6 Are the norms of national and international air law applicable to an

1. Ship construction, equipment and seaworthiness

If aerospace objects moving through airspace are considered to be aircraft and are consequently governed by air law, it is the norms of air law that have to be applied to them after re entry into the Earth apos s atmosphere.

The registration by a State in its appropriate registries of any flying object as an aircraft or a spacecraft is the formal criterion for the application to it of its respective national and international air or space law rules.

Question 6 Are the norms of national and international air law applicable to an aerospace object of one State while it is in the airspace of another State? 6

Question 6. Are the norms of national and international air law applicable to an aerospace object of one State while it is in the airspace of another State?

air law or space law prevail during the flight of an aerospace craft, depending on the

Similarly, customary law does exist with respect to such aerospace objects, whereby they are regarded as craft performing a space mission to which the norms of air law do not apply.

Consequently, applying either air law or space law depending on the type of space crossed by the trajectory of the aerospace object would cause problems.

Under the present international legal system, the legal regime applicable to an aerospace object is different according to its location the Chicago Convention regime is applied to aircraft in airspace and space law to a space object in outer space.

Question 9.

Some States agreed that the norms of national and international air law would be applicable to an aerospace object of one State while it was in the airspace of another State. Those States also noted the following

Regarding terminology, spacecraft or space vehicle are certainly more appropriate.
