Abstract
This article builds a model for determining the law applicable to in-space assembled autonomous
platforms and the services they are likely to provide. It makes a comprehensive inventory of the new
challenges and emerging industry trends in the field of in-space assembly. It identifies some of the most
significant industrial projects, which are currently engaged or contemplated. It then examines the status
of such private platforms assembled in space in terms of both international rules and state jurisdiction. It
suggests an approach that distinguishes the service provided from the physical platform itself, which
would enable States to regulate service operation. The conclusion sets out a series of practical recommendations
that could be implemented at different levels.
