What Luxembourg Law on the Exploration and Use of Space Resources 2017 (Loi du 20 juillet 2017) requires
Luxembourg's Law of 20 July 2017 was the first European national law to recognise private operators' right to own and commercially exploit space resources extracted from asteroids, the Moon, or other celestial bodies, requiring a government authorisation for each mission and establishing the Luxembourg Space Agency (LSA) as regulator. The Law is framed as compatible with the Outer Space Treaty's Article II non-appropriation principle because it grants rights over resources - not territorial sovereignty over celestial bodies.
