Although space mining ventures is getting increased all over the world current space law does not offer effective legal regulation for this human activity. In particular, non-appropriation principle enshrined in the article II of the \u201cOuter Space Treaty\u201d creates legal uncertainties with regard to space mining. This article seeks to show how vague character of article II affects the legality of the extraction and use of natural resources of the outer space. At the same time it is showed that how space law evolved since the 1950s. The importance of space mining and new ventures in this area are also discussed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"\/files\/archive\/volume4\/issue1\/4BSULawRev16.pdf\">Download: PDF<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>4 Baku St. U.
