Modern studies in space require clarication of the term of “space object.” Because, for example,
the ontology of the term of “space object” can be considered a) as from the point of view of astronomical
approaches that include astrophysical identiers, design specications, components, subsystems,
capabilities, vulnerabilities, origin, mission, elements of the orbit; b) both in terms of space law, where
the term “space object” has a dierent meaning. This is an articial object created by a person that
can create emergency situations, harm human health, etc. As a holistic property complex consisting of
facilities and equipment for the assembling, preparation and launching of spacecraft it should be subject
to the regime of real estate for the state to control its circulation.
Keywords: space object, space law, spacecraft, space object, real estate

Сучасні дослідження в космосі потребують уточнення поняття «космічний об’єкт». Тому
що, наприклад, онтологію поняття «космічний об’єкт» можуть розглядати а) як з точки зору
астрономічних підходів, що включають астрофізичні ідентифікатори, специфікації дизайну,
компоненти, підсистеми, можливості, вразливість, походження, місії, елементи орбіти; б) так і
з точки зору космічного права, де термін «космічний об’єкт» має інше значення. Це вже штучний
об’єкт, створений людиною, що може створювати аварійні ситуації, зашкодити здоров’ю
людини та ін. Як цілісний майновий комплекс, що ск ладається зі споруд і технічних засобів для
збирання, підготовки та запуску космічних апаратів на нього повинен поширюватися режим
нерухомого майна для здійснення з боку держави контролю за його обігом.
Ключові слова: космічний об’єкт, космічне право, космічний апарат, об’єкт космічної діяль-
ності, нерухоме майно
