metadata.name: dc.description.abstract
metadata.value: The present article attempts to integrate and comprehensively analyze the main stages in the
  formation and development of the U. S. policy and legislation on the use of outer space, including
  the Moon and other celestial bodies. In connection with recent announcements — the
  new lunar space program “Artemis” launched by NASA in May 2019, negotiations on bilateral
  “Artemis Accords” with potential partners in May 2020 (concluded by the U. S. with several
  states in October 2020), and Donald Trump’s Executive Order on Encouraging International
  Support for the Recovery and Use of Space Resources — the article focuses on U. S. policy and
  legislation in the light of the principles and norms enshrined in the following space treaties:
  the Outer Space Treaty, 1967 (main space treaty), and the Moon Agreement, 1979. The authors,
  using historical-legal, formal-legal, and comparative legal methods, show the changing
  position of the U. S. taken by their delegation during the drafting of the aforementioned international
  treaties, and the U. S. authorities’’ constant adjustment of their national policy and
  legislation on the exploration of space and its natural resources. To clarify the initial U. S. position
  on key aspects, the authors refer to the travaux préparatoires of both the Outer Space
  Treaty, 1967, and “uncertainty” (according to the U. S. authorities, which had been the active
  drafter at the time) of the Moon Agreement, 1979. Condensed opinions of leading space experts
  and famous researchers on international space law are submitted in the article resulting
  for the authors in: U. S. pursue destructive policy aiming at undermining enshrined in the
  Outer Space Treaty, 1967, fundamental basis of international space law.
