Change is everywhere manifest. The time span of change relative to human lives is the critical factor. Many within transportation (T) are anxious to turn T toward controlled acceleration. Some seek new ways of marketing T, rather than selling a single mode or method of moving men & cargoes from here to there. A new activity complex calls for new transport design. One may not deal with T as an activity isolated from its changing environment. When the significance of T's role is recognized, it can surely be referred to as the 5th Estate. T is today well launched into an era of progressive renaissance. The twin investment of capital & man-hours must be amortized by wise planning. By bold innovation, new patterns & processes of T can be made to fit the new requirements. T's role is service. Perspective can be gained by ideas subject to exp. Our progress must be judged by how well contemporary society is motivated by its leaders to achieve goals which make all men participants in the multiplicity of advances. The decades ahead require a T renaissance. Resurgence has already begun. A 5th Estate is emerging. AA.

Transportation has now no geographical frontiers. Its role is so vital to modern civilization that it has become more than a service function—it has become a partner of the government, the commerce, and the society which it serves and represents the occupation and livelihood of a large section of the population as well. Having developed piecemeal, it has been subject to patchwork regulation and is uneven in its performance. By the nature of the dilemmas facing the industry, transportation administration and co-ordination lag far behind transportation technology. This state is critical today, and a renaissance in transportation has been taking place and is on the verge of great acceleration. Many leaders in transportation areas are active in planning for and carrying out improvements in transportation policy and operation. Many inequities and operational lags need to be corrected. Common carriers, the backbone of the system, are operating under financial, political, and manpower difficulties. The rivalry of air and highway carriers has faced the railroads with competition which their heavily regulated quasi-public-utility status has not helped them to meet. Full advantage cannot be taken of technological improvements, due to regulations which are now inequitable or inappropriate or simply unworkable or unwieldy. Labor, from an embattled position at the beginning and during the flush period of transportation expansion, has now become an equal protagonist with management in the transportation system. Transportation labor and management have not yet reached full co-ordination for total utilization of their resources. Transportation capital has not been freed of its fetters; costing and pricing have become increasingly unrealistic and inoperative in the market place. Political pressures now carry equal weight with economic and service factors. Transport leaders in a pool of experience and knowledge are aware of the imperfections of the system, and many of them have sound plans for replacing dislocation and loss with co-ordination, profit, and the full service efficiency the system is capable of offering.

On-orbit services could transform the space industry in the coming decades. The limited availability of orbital slots in geostationary orbit and the overpopulation of certain orbital regions in low Earth orbit represent a major challenge for bath commercial and government operators. Another key problem to address is the danger posed to operational missions by the growing population of space debris. On-orbit services promise a potential solution to many problems. However, on-orbit service activities, in particular on-orbit maintenance and the removal of space debris, are not completely covered by current space law, bath from the point of view of international law, than that of commercial contractual practice. How will the law regulate this movement of multiplication of orbital activities? What will be the place of States vis-à-vis private services? How will the on-orbit service contract be constructed? ln the case of international services on the same abject, what will be the applicable law? What will be the obligations of on-orbit service operators? My research focus on the development of the commercial orbital service resulting from the multiplication of space players (private companies and new space States). ; Les services en orbite pourraient transformer le secteur des activités spatiales au cours des prochaines décennies. La disponibilité limitée de créneaux orbitaux en orbite géostationnaire et la surpopulation de certaines régions orbitales en orbite terrestre basse représentent un défi de taille pour les opérateurs tant commerciaux que gouvernementaux.

Comment le droit va-t-il réguler ce mouvement de multiplication des activités orbitales ? Quelle sera la place des États vis- à-vis des services privés ? Comment le contrat de service en orbite sera-t-il construit ? En cas de services internationaux sur un même objet, quel sera le droit applicable ? Quelles seront les obligations des opérateurs de services en orbite ? Mes recherches portent sur le développement du service orbital commercial résultant de la multiplication des acteurs spatiaux (entreprises privées et nouveaux États spatiaux).
