This thesis explores a viable domestic legal framework for Japanese private space activities. Ideally, Japanese space legislation would govern private entities in a way that promotes commercialization while also fulfilling international obligations, doing both with an especial focus on commercial launch activities. First, I analyze current Japanese space law and space policies and continue by identifying Japan's problems in this arena. Next, I present research regarding other countries' space legislation solutions and examine how other nations' regulations do or do not solve problems similar to Japan's. Then, I assess the applicability of the foreign countries' approaches to Japan's situation. Finally, I propose ideas for a new legal structure for space activities in Japan and discuss possible implementation. I do so within the context of existing space policy problems that Japan must first tackle in order to successfully develop and enforce such new laws in the future.

The airplane has one great advantage over all other forms of transportation: only a short time is required to construct the facilities necessary for its operation over a wide range of the earth’s surface. China is a vast nation: the huge size of the country and the resulting distances combine with the total absence of modern transportation to create a particularly strong demand for air transport. This is an urgent need, especially since the country' s economy, industries and trade cannot develop without transportation.

To evaluate the relationship of the natural law of the Universe and apply it to a concept of man-made or man-defined law, one must consider to some extent the over-all picture of the Universe as we know and understand it today. Primarily our main concern is the small portion of the world in which we, as individuals, reside. Occasionally we broaden our concern to our state and nation, and possibly to our world. Until recently our interest has been with our law (as each individual or sovereign nation sees it), our control, our flight in space.
