Abstract

This article describes the origins, reach and limitations of the recently enacted Danish Space. Act. The analysis begins with the boldest feature of the Act, the definition of outer space as the area situated above 100 kilometres from sea surface. The article points out that such a provision may be premature bearing in mind the numerous new debates concerning 'protospace'. Furthermore, the potential of this delimitation is affected by the attempt to present it as purely for the purpose of the Act and not as an expression of opinio juris. The article proceeds to discuss issues related to liability of non-state actors, ownership and scope ratione personae and related registration concerns, and the severity of possible sanctions. The conclusion of the article, in spite of a few elements of concern, is that the Danish Space Act should be warmly welcomed and can be considered a highly professional product.
