Summary:The U.S. Space Resource Exploration and Utilization Act of 2015 (SREU) establishes that space resources are subject to property rights, raising a potential conflict with other legislation surrounding resource extraction in space. ANDREW LINTNER evaluates the SREU against relevant international law, finding that it does not conflict with The Outer Space Treaty or The Moon Agreement in the areas of sovereignty over and national appropriation of space resources.
