论中国《航天法》立法的必要性与可行性

The Necessity and Practicability of China's Legislation on National Space Law

中国的航天事业近年来不断取得重大的进步,相比之下,中国的航天立法相对滞后,《航天法》立法已经成为中国航天事业发展的关键。《航天法》立法是维护国家外空安全、进行国防建设、航天技术创新、完善中国特色社会主义法律体系和加强国际交流、促进包容性发展的需要。《航天法》立法是中国航天产业可持续发展、维护中国外空资产和空间活动的安全、空间商业活动的发展、突破外空外交困境和发展中国外空战略的迫切要求。中国《航天法》立法已经具备一定的社会共识和立法实践、立法研究、国际立法借鉴以及国际合作借鉴等基础。

China＇ s legislation on a national space law lagged behind the rapid development of its space industry. The legislation of a comprehensive national space law becomes the key to the further growth of China＇s space industry. The legislation will meet the demand of the maintenance of the outer space security, development of the national defense system, innovation of the space technology, improvement of the China-specific socialist legal system and enhancement of the international communication and the inclusive development of outer space. It reflects the urgent need to pursue a sustainable development of Chinese space industry, to insure the security and safety of Chinese space property and space activities, to develop the commercial space activities, to improve China＇s diplomatic situation and implement strategies in outer space. The legislation already has the ideological and legislation bases, and it can benefit from foreign legislation experiences and international cooperation related to space legislation in which China is involved.
