Some of our research and publications can be seen online.

Commercial and government organisations may commission legal and policy analysis relating to specific projects.

ISPL AND OTHER PUBLICATIONS IN OUR ONLINE LIBRARY

It is the aim of the London Institute of Space Policy and Law to advance education and research, nationally and internationally, and to promote and disseminate knowledge about the policies and laws applicable to the governance, use and exploration of outer space, for the benefit of the public.

To achieve that goal, we often publish records of our seminars and events, as part of our online library.

We welcome suggestions for inclusion in the online library, and submissions of documents by their authors and publishers.
