dc.description.abstractThe 1957 space travel by the Soviet Union and United States opened up the prospect of outer space exploration. The reality of space exploration and space-based technology prompted the world community to put together principles at International level on the use of outer space. This paper intends to discuss some of the national responses of some states in respect of their space activities to complement International Space law vis-à-vis the effort of the Nigeria government in putting in place legal mechanismn to regulate its space activities and the adequacy of such laws. This paper adopted doctrinal legal method of research as it discussed some of the national responses of some states in respect of their space activities to complement International Space law vis-à-vis the effort of the Nigeria government in putting in place to regulate its space activities and the adequacy of such effort. It found that, even though Nigeria has put lots of effort in its space activities by launching Satellite for different purposes, it is yet to make laws specifically to regulate its activities in Outer Space. The available regimés addressed were found to be insufficient. Hence, recommendations were suggested to cater for the lacuna which includes the need to have a Nigerian Space law which would take into consideration some of the provisions identified in the Laws of other jurisdiction addressed.
