Today, one of the main concerns of the Committee for the Peaceful Use of Outer Space (COPUOS) and its subcommittees is the issue of militarization in space law. Top space countries such as the United States, Russia and China have added to this concern by using advanced space military equipment. Therefore, the international community must look for desirable and practical solutions to solve this problem in order to prevent militarization and the creation of an arms race in space. Based on this, the present article tries to investigate the military prohibitions governing space activities in order to prohibit such activities in outer space by analyzing the military use of space and legal documents and explaining the conventional and customary system governing space treaties and by examining some dual-use space-based weapons; Conduct a descriptive analysis and reveal more about the negative aspects of the military use of space.

Many of the space applications that previously required the use of large, complex and expensive satellites have now been made possible by very small satellites due to the development of technology. The applicable international laws and regulations, which typically govern large satellite operations with sophisticated technology, also govern state's responsibility for regulating and controlling small satellites. However, in recent years, the private sector has increased its commercial use of small satellites without complying with applicable regulations. As a result, the irregular operation of small satellites in space has increased in orbits without states oversight. Therefore, the responsibility of states in the international space community to regulate the operation of small satellites has been challenged. This paper focuses on the responsibility of states and two challenges arise in relation to the responsibility of states in the operation of small satellites; activity of private section and transfer small satellites ownership into orbits. Finally, the author proposes solutions to address these challenges.

By incorporating provisions in Space Law documents, gateway for commercial space activities was opened. From the era of space treaties, commercial uses always are getting faster Due to the increasing of players and development of new technologies. Although the current framework does not comply with the legal issues arising from rapid and ongoing process, the provisions of these instruments have so far been the basis for action by governments & Non-governmental Orgs. in carrying such activities. This paper assuming the need to further development of space law in terms of its commercial dimension, but intends to consider the possibility or refusal of commercial activities and the status of soft law through international cooperation and development of national space legislation to relative normality of space. An initial review indicates the prescription of these activities, despite the cessation of contractual normalization and existence of constraints derived from principles such as the prohibition of appropriation, the common heritage of mankind & equitable sharing.

Following the beginning of human activities in outer space, such issues as governance, jurisdiction and other legal matters were investigated by jurists. It should be accepted that technological advancement cannot be made possible in the presence of legal gaps, and it should be acknowledged that law is easily changing and developing constantly. With increasing progression law of outer space is essential. humans having access to the outer space, it is extremely essential and important to develop international law governing the outer space and celestial Bodies.As the most resent branch of international law, therefore, International Space law provides new concepts related to criminal jurisdiction for this reason, present paper attempts to explain criminal jurisdiction within international law system while evaluating its position in the framework of international outer space law on interrelated issues such as command authority, authority of commanding the international space stations, and Command of the International Space Station and commanders in light of U.N outer space treaty
