The Convention on International Liability for Damage Caused by Space Objects, also known as the Space Liability Convention, is a treaty that expands on the liability rules created in the Outer Space Treaty of 1967. Because relatively few accidents have occurred resulting from space objects, the treaty has never yet been invoked. However, in 1978, the crash of the nuclear-powered Soviet satellite Cosmos 954 in Canadian territory nearly led to a claim under the Convention.

  • The Convention on International Liability for Damage Caused by Space Objects, also known as the Space Liability Convention, is a treaty that expands on the liability rules created in the Outer Space Treaty of 1967. Because relatively few accidents have occurred resulting from space objects, the treaty has never yet been invoked. However, in 1978, the crash of the nuclear-powered Soviet satellite Cosmos 954 in Canadian territory nearly led to a claim under the Convention. Skylab crashed in Western Australia the following year, and while there were no deaths, injuries, or significant damage, the shire of Esperance, Western Australia did fine the Government of the United States $400 for littering as a result of Skylab crashing to earth over Australia. NASA never paid the debt, but in 2008, a California DJ collected donations from listeners and sent a check to the Shire of Esperance.
