Abstract

Security of space activities is threatened by space debris. Current rules
now governing human exploration in outer space, while having no efficiency
in clarifying guidelines for preventing the increase of space debris ; need to
be changed and more flexible.
On the other hand, some special terms such as "Space Objects" and
"Space debris" should be defined more detailed and need to be clarified in
international space law sources.
