Legal and institutional aspects of Latin-American space cooperation AQUARELSat: The Water Monitoring Constellation

Abstract

Since the 1960s Latin-American experts have supported the idea of regionalspace cooperation. Nevertheless, the way to implement this idea in legal termshas not been found yet. The lack of legal clarity in space cooperation haslimited its implementation in the region; thus, this research addresses the legaloptions available to Latin American countries for implementing regional spacecooperation, evolving from a non-institutional model to consolidated institutionalmodels of space cooperation.
