This book explores the intersection of international law, space exploration, and global equity, focusing on the emerging legal and policy challenges of space resource mining. As technological advancements and geopolitical competition drive humanity toward a new era of space exploration, the governance of outer space resources becomes a critical issue. The book examines the implications of international competition over space mining, highlighting the potential for conflict and the need for equitable resource distribution.

Each chapter presents fundamental concepts, policies, and contemporary developments, encouraging readers to critically assess the evolving legal frameworks. With contributions from leading space law scholars, the book offers a holistic and structured approach to understanding the complexities of resource mining beyond Earth.

Beyond legal and policy aspects, the book addresses ethical and sustainability concerns, emphasizing the risks of space resource exploitation mirroring historical patterns of colonial dominance. It advocates for inclusive frameworks that ensure all nations, not just technologically advanced ones, benefit from space mining. The book also considers environmental challenges and the necessity of long-term sustainability in outer space activities.

Designed for scholars, policymakers, industry professionals, and students, this book serves as a valuable resource in international law, space policy, and global governance. Given the limited literature on space resource mining and Artemis Accords, this work offers a timely and unique contribution to the growing discourse on fair and sustainable space exploration.
