In recent years a few entrepreneurs proposed launching into space large fleets of satellites, consisting of hundreds of satellites, often referred to as ‘constellations’. Their role is to provide satellite services to the largest possible number of users on Earth. This article provides a review of key legal issues associated with satellite constellations, including responsibility and liability for potential damages caused by satellites being a part of a constellation, insurance, registration of space objects, allocation of radio frequencies and orbital slots, and space debris. satellite constellations, space law, space insurance, liability, space debris
