rned. The UIPS and INOR will be kept
informed of such constabulary agreements prior
to implementation and their views considered.
ARTICLE FIVE
We recognize that precise delineation's of
spatial jurisdictions are essential for the
orderly processes of government. We agree that
jurisdictions to be defined and delineated include:
a. the outer limits of any one nation's spatial
control and administration. Such delineation
shall take into account the irrevocable right
and obligation of any Government which
exercises legitimate influence or control over
a non-hazardous natural or artificial planet,
satellite, planetoid, space station, outpost,
spunnel node, link, net or booster; transiting
comet, asteroid, meteor swarm, planetary or
satellite ring, or other astrophysical body to
ensure absence of human interference to that body's
or phenomenon's free and unencumbered passage
through that Government's spatial jurisdiction.
b. control and operation of space communications
booster, relay, and terminal stations and their
supporting research, development, manufacturing,
and logistics systems and technologies. The
intent of this delineation is standardized and
economically operated and serviced conventional
and hyperspace communications systems throughout
the Solar System and in interstellar space.
c. traffic control, flight safety, and management
of UIPS and INOR approved inter-regional,
interplanetary, inter-satellite and other
space-ways. Acceptance of responsibilities shall
not exceed the Party's existing technologies,
resources and capabilities.
ARTICLE SIX
We commit our Governments to accept financial,
fiduciary, material and technological assessments
for our utilization of the common space-ways. We
agree that these assessments are for the purpose
of defraying the expenditures of any one Government
toward maintaining and upgrading those common
space and traffic management systems that fall
within their borders, or other mutually agreed upon
jurisdictions, and for performing such services for
the common good as:
a. removal of hazards to innocent passage;
b. traffic control;
c. search and rescue;
d. acquisition, deployment, operation and servicing
of communications and navigational aids;
e. construction, operation and maintenance of space
and surface ports of entry and departure for the
common use of all spacecraft;
f. trained, equipped and ready investigation teams
to assist Go
