Since that time the legal regulation of outer-space activities has been largely centered in the UN Committee on the Peaceful Uses of Outer Space. • Satellites now control communications and observation networks, while landings have been made on the moon and information-seeking space probes dispatched to survey planets like Venus and Saturn. The research material gathered upon such diverse matters as earth resources, ionospheric activities, solar radiation, cosmic rays and the general structure of space and planet formations has stimulated further efforts to understand the nature of space and the cosmos.Chapter 7 1.General• Beginning in 1957, nations began discussing systems to ensure the peaceful use of outer space. Bilateral discussions between the United States and USSR in 1958 resulted in the presentation of issues to the UN for debate. • In 1959 the UN created the Committee on the Peaceful Uses of Outer Space (COPUOS).COPUOS in turn created two subcommittees, the Scientific and Technical Subcommittee and the Legal Subcommittee. The COPUOS Legal Subcommittee has been a primary forum for discussion and negotiation of international agreements relating to outer space. • 和平利用外层空间委员会 - COPUOSChapter 7 1.General一、 Definition of outer space often simply called space，comprises the relatively empty regions of the universe outside the atmospheres of celestial bodies. Outer space is used to distinguish it from airspace and terrestrial locations. 二、Boundary between Earth's atmosphere and space there was no clear boundary between Earth's atmosphere and space, as the density of the atmosphere gradually decreases as the altitude increases. Nevertheless, several boundaries have been set, namely: Chapter 7 1.General• 自然科学上，外层空间一般是指地球表面大气层以外 的整个宇宙空间；在法律上，外层空间是指国家主权 管辖范围以外的整个空间及天体。
