Insurances of space activities are divided into satellite insurance, astronaut insurance and third party liability insurance. Against the background of the rapid development of space commercialization, especially the increasing participation of private entities in space affairs, the present international and domestic mechanisms of space insurance are challenged. As a space-faring state which is in the process of developing space businesses, the regulations of space insurance in China are deserved to be discussed. Satellites insurance is at present well-developed, the "pre-launch", "launch" and "in-orbit" phases of satellites are all possible to be insured by related companies. China created the CAIA in 1997 to provide insurance for Chinese satellites. However, with more private entities start to involve in space as well as satellite industry, the regime established under the framework of CAIA is necessary to be modified, and the mechanism relating to space insurance brokers should be promoted. The astronauts are recognized as the envoy of humankind, and relevant international regulations are made to provide assistance to them in emergency circumstances. From the domestic perspective, astronauts will be fully insured. China creates a particular type of insurance for astronauts. However, once space tourism becomes a business, the insurance of the tourist will be demanded to be created. In order to promote China's space tourism, it is recommended to take the "Astronaut Group Insurance" as an optional model to space tourists, if the tourists are customers of a governmental-owned space company. Once private involvement of providing orbital/suborbital tourism service becomes a reality, new rules are required. Getting a third party liability insurance is deemed as an indispensable precondition for an applicant to get a launch permission. Domestic space laws will include provisions for the third party liability insurance. China's "Interim Measures" of 2002 realizes the importance of third party liability insurance and requires the permit holder to get it before entering the launching site. This regulation is different from the practices of other states. Concerning that China is the sponsor of APSCO, for the purpose of promoting commercial space cooperation, a harmonized approach to domestic law is recommended to be found.

Korea now has a rapidly expanding space programme with exploration aspirations. The government is giving priority to the aerospace industry and, to put it on a better footing, enacted an Aerospace Industry Development Promotion Act in 1987, a Space Development Promotion Act in 2005 and a New Space Compensation for Damage Act in 2007. I would like to describe briefly the legislative history, main contents and comment for these three space acts including especially launch licensing, registration of space objects, use of satellite information, astronaut rescue, liability for compensation, third party liability insurance and establishment of committee and plans to assist the Korean space effort. Furthermore author proposed to legislate a draft for the establishment of a new Korean National Space Development Agency (KNSDA: tentative title) to create a similar body to Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA), British National Space Centre (BNSC) of UK, French Centre National d'Etudes Spatiales (CNES), German Aerospace Center (DLR), Swedish Space Corporation, China Aerospace Science and Industry Corporation, Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) as well as the Korean Space Agency (KSA: Tentative title) to create a similar body to Canadian Space Agency, European Space Agency, Russian Space Agency, Italian Space Agency, Israel Space Agency, Indian Department of Space, National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) of USA, China National Space Administration in order to develope efficiently space industry. A call is made for Asian countries to unite and further their space development through a regional space agency.

한국은 우주 탐사 프로그램에 대한 포부와 함께 급속하게 확장내지 발전하고 있다. 정부는 항공우주산업에 우선권을 주고 있으며, 더 좋은 기반위에, I987년의 항공우주산업개발촉진법, 2005년의 우주개발진흥법과 2007년의 우주손해배상법을 제정하여 시행 해오고 있다. 필자는 위성의 발사허가, 우주물체의 등록, 위성정보의 이용, 우주비행사의 구조, 손해배상, 지상 제3자에 대한 책임보험, 우주개발지원계획 등이 포함된 전기 세 가지 우주관계법의 입법경위, 주요내용 및 논평을 하고자 한다. 더욱이 필자는 한국의 우주산업을 효율적으로 개발하기 위하여 일본의 우주항공연구개발기구(JAXA), 영국의 국립우주센터(BNSC), 국립우주연구센터(CNES), 독일의 항공우주센터(DLR), 스웨덴의 우주공사(SSC), 중국의 항천과공집단공사(CASIC) 등과 유사한 한국의 새로운 우주항공개발공사 (KADA: 가칭)의 창설할 수 있는 입법이 필요로 하며 또한 정부기구로서 캐나다의 우주청(CSA), 러시아의 우주청(RSA), 이탈리아의 우주청(ISA), 이스라엘의 우주청(ISA), 인도의 우주성(IDS), 미국의 항공우주청(NASA)과 중국의 국가항천국(CNSA)등과 유사한 한국의 새로운 우주청(KSA: 가칭)을 창설할 수 있는 입법조치가 필요하다. 만약 한국 정부가 장차 정부 조직으로 한국의 우주청을 설립시키려면 정부조직법의 개정이 필요하다. 동양적인 사고와 창의력에 근거하여 아시아 여러 나라들 간에 우주산업을 발전시키기 위하여 연구협력을 증진시킬 수 있는 "아시아우주기구(ASA)" 의 설립이 필요하다.
