Abstract

By sending the first satellite in 1950s, the space era began. The activities of governments around the earth only did not make peaceful use of it, but also contaminated the environment and space of the planet. The history of international space law development suggests that, at the time of five space documents development, the environmental issue and the international responsibility of governments in protecting the environment were beyond the subsidiary structure. Since the space is very important for governments and it provides humanity with the applications and capabilities such as business, economics, communications, remote sensing, meteorology and so on, and future generations also have the right to exploit the environment, in order to prevent pollution from space wastes, the commercialization of outer space, harp systems, chemical pollution, etc., there are several ways in which there can be effective use of environmental principles such as approval of  new documents, establishment of the environmental damage association and the establishment of the Space Agency.
