Summary
Space Law encompasses international law, treaties, agreements, national laws, regulations, norms, and state practices. The Space Court Foundation, established in 2018, aims to create an updated and inclusive Space Law Library, enabling research on different concepts, rights, and responsibilities. This benefits academics, researchers, policymakers, entrepreneurs, states, and IGOs applying current law to future activities.

The Foresight Institute is a research organization and non-profit that supports the beneficial development of high-impact technologies. Since our founding in 1987 on a vision of guiding powerful technologies, we have continued to evolve into a many-armed organization that focuses on several fields of science and technology that are too ambitious for legacy institutions to support.

Allison Duettmann is the president and CEO of Foresight Institute. She directs the Intelligent Cooperation, Molecular Machines, Biotech & Health Extension, Neurotech, and Space Programs, Fellowships, Prizes, and Tech Trees, and shares this work with the public. She founded Existentialhope.com, co-edited Superintelligence: Coordination & Strategy, co-authored Gaming the Future, and co-initiated The Longevity Prize.
