摘要：	The Aerospace Corporation was tasked to perform an independent and comprehensive study of the liability risk-sharing regime in the United States for commercial space transportation under section 70113 of Title 49, United States Code. The Commercial Space Launch Amendments Act of 2004 (Public Law 108-492) mandated a study on the U.S. governments risk sharing of third-party liability for commercial space launch providers licensed by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). This risksharing regime, as described in Title 49, section 70113 of the U.S. Code, was the subject of a previous congressionally directed report issued in April 2002 by the Department of Transportation (DOT) titled Liability Risk-Sharing Regime for U.S. Commercial Space Transportation: Study and Analysis. The current study updates this report for congressional decision-makers who are considering the next steps beyond the current risk-sharing statute, which expires at the end of 2009. Specifically, this report provides the following: An objective assessment of methods by which the current liability risk-sharing regime could be eliminated or modified, including alternative steps needed to maintain a viable and internationally competitive U.S. commercial space transportation industry. An evaluation of the direct and indirect impacts that elimination or modification of the regime would have on U.S. competitiveness in the world launch market, and on U.S. assured access to space. Examination of liability risk-sharing in other nations with commercial space launch capabilities, including comparisons to the current liability risk-sharing regime in the U.S.
