REGULATORY AND POLICY COMMITTEE Recommendations to the NASA Advisory Council NASA HQ September 5, 2019

The Extraction and Utilization of Space Resources Background Several countries plan to establish a permanent human presence on the Moon within the next five to fifteen years. After using the Moon as a testing grounds, humankind will establish a presence on Mars, and eventually on other planets, their moons, and asteroids (referred to collectively as “Celestial Bodies”). Humans cannot survive permanently on the Moon or elsewhere in deep space unless resources from the surface and sub-surface of Celestial Bodies (“Space Resources”) are extracted and utilized.

The Extraction and Utilization of Space Resources Background (cont.) The scarcity of certain Space Resources, such as water-ice, may lead to conflict unless measures are taken to avoid disputes. In order to avoid conflict and to fulfill U.S. obligations under international law (such as the duty to operate with due regard to the interests of other states and to avoid harmful interference), it is necessary for NASA and the U.S. Government to adopt principles to govern the extraction and utilization of Space Resources.

The Extraction and Utilization of Space Resources Recommendation The Committee recommends that NASA, in coordination with the Department of State, the Department of Commerce, and the National Space Council, adopt principles regarding the extraction and utilization of Space Resources as set forth in Annex A hereto.

Principles for the Extraction and Utilization of Space Resources Principle 1 Abiotic space resources (or simply “space resources”) shall be extracted and utilized in a manner that fully complies with the Treaty on Principles Governing the Activities of States in the Exploration and Use of Outer Space, including the Moon and Other Celestial Bodies. In this context, the term “extraction” includes both (i) the extraction of resources from the interior of a celestial body and (ii) the recovery of resources from the surface of a celestial body.

Principles for the Extraction and Utilization of Space Resources Principle 2 Space resources shall be extracted and utilized in a manner that enhances the long-term sustainability of outer space activities.

Principles for the Extraction and Utilization of Space Resources Principle 3 The extraction and utilization of space resources does not constitute national appropriation under Article II of the Outer Space Treaty.

Principles for the Extraction and Utilization of Space Resources Principle 4 Per Article VI of the Outer Space Treaty, States shall authorize and supervise the extraction of space resources from celestial bodies.

Principles for the Extraction and Utilization of Space Resources Principle 5 States’ domestic laws should enable the governmental and nongovernmental extraction and utilization of space resources as well as the ownership of those resources.

Principles for the Extraction and Utilization of Space Resources Principle 6 Prior to authorization, States shall determine whether extraction and/or utilization of space resources would result in harmful interference with the activities of other States. If the State responsible for authorizing the extraction and utilization of space resources has reason to believe such activities would result in harmful interference, consistent with Article IX of the Outer Space Treaty, the State shall engage in consultations with the affected States.

Principles for the Extraction and Utilization of Space Resources Principle 7 States shall share scientific information with the international community resulting from activities related to space resource extraction and utilization on a good-faith basis and in compliance with relevant national export control laws and rules and regulations protecting intellectual property.

Principles for the Extraction and Utilization of Space Resources Principle 8 States shall, in accordance with Article XI of the Outer Space Treaty, inform the Secretary-General of the United Nations as well as the public and the international scientific community, to the greatest extent feasible and practicable, of the nature, conduct, and location(s) of authorized space resource extraction activities. States shall also provide timely notice to the Secretary-General of terminated space resource extraction activities.
