摘要美国商业外层空间活动已经持续深入发展30年,相关产业的规模和效益领先全球。与此相适应,美国商业外层空间活动的法治化也达到了其他国家在短时间内难以企及的高度。美国调整商业外层空间活动的法律制度主要涉及管理机制、许可制度、责任与保险制度和出口管制等内容。通过创造公开透明的竞争环境,上述法律规范和制度体系满足了外层空间产业持续发展的需要,促进了商业外层空间活动的繁荣发展,具有重要的参考价值。但是,其中严苛复杂的出口管制制度已经落后于时代要求,在落实国际义务方面亦存在不足之处。总体而言,美国商业外层空间法律制度对于中国未来的空间立法具有重要的借鉴意义,在该领域开展双边合作也是中国积极参与塑造国际空间秩序的有效途径。 After a three-decade continuous and deep development, the magnitude and profit of the space industry in United States have qualified it as a predominant space power in the world. Correspondingly, the US administers a full-fledged body of space laws and regulations that are unchallenged in volume, sophistication and coherence by any other nation. US space legisla- tions regulate commercial space activities, covering license, liability, insurance, and export con- trol, so as to conduct a thorough evaluation of their advantages and disadvantages. By providing a fair and transparent environment for competition, these laws and regulations have satisfied the le- gal needs for promoting a sustainable development. But the critical and complex requirements for export are outdated and there are some deficiencies in fulfilling the US＇ s international obligations. The American commercial space law is of significance as a reference for China in terms of establis- hing its space legislation and strengthening international cooperation between the two countries. It is also an important channel to help China play an active role in shaping future international order in the outer space
