Abstract
Aim. To reveal new trends in understanding the legal structure of responsibility in space activities.
Methodology. Both general methods (methods of analysis and synthesis) and private-legal methods (comparative-legal, historical-legal, legal forecasting) were used, which made it possible to obtain the results of the study and understand their impact on the further development of the doctrine of space law.
Results. A new understanding of legal responsibility in space activities is proposed, the influence of new ideas in the understanding of legal responsibility on space legal relations is considered, it is recommended to consider the regulation of relations in space as the management of qualitatively heterogeneous groups of social relations leading to the formation of new systems of international space law, international private space law and private space law.
Research implications. Possible ways of developing the doctrine of space law, as well as the very structure of legal responsibility in space activities, are proposed, which, according to the author, will increase the sustainability of the development of space activities in the Russian Federation.
