dc.description.abstractUnlike the regime of sovereignty on earth, outer space is a no man’s land. The pristine environment is neither subject nor capable of being owned, hence, the non-appropriation status provided by the major space laws regulating human activities in space. The determination of the international community that the environment of space and its resources are to be used for the benefit of mankind informed stricter provisions in the Moon Treaty of 1979 with respect to the principle of common heritage of outer space. It therefore means that Outer Space and its natural resources do not belong to anybody be it states, individual (juristic or natural), inter-governmental organisation etc. Again, ownership of real property, in this regard, space object, on earth undoubtedly resides in the person with title whether as a result of manufacture, sale or transfer. Outer place is a different clime with its special regimes. What then is the status of a space object launched to outer space? Is the non-appropriation regime in space applicable to whatever object that is also launched into the environment from the earth notwithstanding its status on earth? The intention of this paper is to discuss the attitude of the international legal regimes on space on ownership of objects or real property launched into space. KEYWORDS: regimes, ownership, object, outer space, launch
