It gives an historic account of the Agreement and sets out the current developments in this field. It also deals with future perspectives, and addresses questions such as: Should the Astronauts Agreement be revised and be limited to persons, excluding the recovery on the Earth and include settlements on the Moon and other celestial bodies? Should the Astronauts Agreement be complemented and if so, should this be done via a UN General Assembly Declaration? Which topics should be included: the Moon base (access, rescue, use); journey to Mars; space platform on the Moon?
