Since 1957 when the first man-made object traversed into Outer Space, much rocket has roared into the cosmos. With increasing technological capacity to access space, opportunities for mankind have been widening.

Beyond the five space treaties, no new treaties have come into existence till date rather a plethora of non-binding Resolution have come.
