Asteroids, Mining, and Policy: Practical Consideration of Space Resource Rights

SWF and the Alliance for Space Development (ASD) will host a panel discussion on "Asteroids, Mining, and Policy: Practical Consideration of Space Resource Rights" on Thursday May 5, 2016 from 12:00pm to 2:00pm in Washington, DC. A light lunch will be served.

As the domestic and international community discusses and implements policy and legislation focused on space resource rights, this panel will focus on identifying legal, policy, and business implications of that activity. The discussion will focus on practical considerations related to the development of space resources-related regulatory frameworks and their relationship to both commercial development and international commitments.
