Countries around the world are developing reusable objects that can be controlled and maneuvered upon re-entry into airspace. Owing to this development, this paper will analyze whether state parties to the Return and Rescue Agreement, 1968 (ARRA) are obligated under the Article 5 to recover and return such objects that have been repurposed by launching state to perform surveillance or other military activities in their airspace, upon controlled re-entry from Outer Space. The paper will also explain how space objects that can be maneuvered in the airspace upon re-entry should be regarded as an aircraft and be excluded from this obligation under ARRA. |
