摘要

South Africa as an emerging space faring nation has been participating actively in the exploration of spacesince the dawn of the Space Age in the 1950's and there has been an continuous history of scientific endeavoursmoving from a satellite tracking, support for lunar and interplanetary missions from a CSIR tracking station atHartebeesthoek, launch of ---kilogram micro-satellite, SunSat in 1999 and the launch of eighty kilogram microsatellite,in 2009. In addition, space applications have become an indispensable part of the modern informationsociety and growing recognition of the benefits derived from the use of space applications is encouraging thecountry to conduct space activities. All these activities show a commitment by the government of South Africa toadvance its scientific and technology activities in order to deliver on a wide range of national priorities relating toour socio-economic development. All these activities were undertaken without any specific relevant legalframework as the first national legislation was only enacted in 1993, amended in 1995.However, for the country toeffectively participate in international markets, a supportive legal and regulatory environment which is inaccordance with international standards and practices should be strengthened. Even though a number of basiccomponents of the legal framework covering activities directly contributing to the launching of spacecraft and theoperation of such craft in outer space and communications are in place, but some gaps remain in other areasincluding remote sensing as there are only policies than laws. As a result, existing regimes are currently not verysupportive of commercial space activities as they are focusing on National interests.This paper will examine the legal and regulatory environment governing space activities in South Africantaking into account the history and the current space activities .This will also look at the international legalframework governing space activities in particular those frameworks that South Africa is a party to or intends toratify and how those regulation are incorporated in our laws and suggest a way forward.
