Abstract
The technological advantages derived from space exploitation cannot be over-emphasized.it ranges from communication; TV signals, transmission of wireless radio, the use of GPS systems in our cars and listening to weather forecast derived from remote sensing satellite. However, the resources of outer space are finite and the continuous abuse facing the environment of space as a result of human exploration and exploitation is damaging and causing serious degradation. The intention of this paper is to review the International laws relating to the environment of space for their effectiveness and proffer recommendation where necessary in order to sustain the resources of space.
