The US military has considered the possibility of space transportation since the Cold War, but high costs and technological limitations were prohibitive at the time. The rise of commercial space has led to advances in space technology and decreasing launch costs. Private companies are making rapid strides in the development of orbital and suborbital space transportation. Consequently, the US military is assessing the viability of contracting commercial space transportation services. However, the current international space legal regime was not designed for such a scenario. Many aspects of space law and regulation have been developed under the assumption that states would occupy the predominant role in space. Additionally, neither the Chicago Convention nor the various space treaties were designed in anticipation of the existence of spaceplanes that straddle the line between air and space. Moreover, the Hague or Geneva Conventions did not contemplate conflict in space nor the role of private companies in such conflicts.Therefore, this thesis examines the domestic and international legal issues of the US military's use of commercial space transportation. It identifies the relevant legal provisions and traces their historical origins. This contextualization provides a basis for understanding the gaps in the current law and how they may be addressed. Specifically, it examines the ambiguity of state versus civil aircraft under the Chicago Convention if air law becomes the regime applicable to sub-orbital spacecraft. It explores the possibility of using the Civil Reserve Air Fleet as a model to integrate space transportation into the US military's existing airlift capability. It assesses the current US domestic framework and notes a limitation for the military's full utilization of space transportation for troops and cargo. Finally, it appliesspace law and the law of armed conflict to the US military's use of commercial space transportation during conflict to identify gaps in the law and differences in the US interpretation.

520 $a Des la guerre froide, l'armee americaine s'est interesse au potentiel du transport via l'espace, mais les couts prohibitifs et les limitations technologiques ont limite ses aspirations. Depuis, la commercialisation progressive de l'espace a entraine des progres technologiques et une diminution des couts de lancement. Le secteur prive progresse rapidement dans le developpement du transport orbital et suborbital. Par consequent, l'armee americaine evalue aujourd'hui la viabilite de la soustraitance de services de transport spatial. Toutefois, le regime juridique spatial international actuel n'a pas ete concu pour un tel scenario. De nombreux aspects du droit et de la reglementation de l'espace ont ete elabores selon l'idee que les Etats occuperaient le role predominant dans l'espace. Ni la Convention de Chicago ni les diverstraitesspatiaux ont ete concus en prevision de l'existence d'avions spatiaux qui chevauchent obscurcissent la demarcation entre l'air et l'espace. Pareillement, les Conventions de La Haye ou de Geneve n'envisagent ni la presence de conflits dans l'espace ni le role des entreprises privees dans de tels conflits.La presente these examine les questions juridiques nationales et internationales de l'emploi par l'armee americaine de transport spatial commercial. Y sont identifiees les dispositions legales pertinentes et leurs origines historiques. Cette contextualisation fournit une base pour comprendre les lacunes juridiques actuelles et comment elles pourraient etre comblees. Plus precisement, est examinee l'ambiguite entre les aeronefs d'Etat et les aeronefs civils en vertu de la Convention de Chicago en supposant que la Convention devenait le regime applicable aux engins spatiaux suborbitaux. La these explore aussi le concept de la flotte aerienne de la Reserve civile comme modele pour integrer le transport spatial dans la capacite de transport aerien existante de l'armee americaine. Ensuite, leslimites du cadre national americain actuelsont examinees dans un contexte d'utilisation par l'armee du transport spatial pour les troupes et le fret. Finalement, cette these applique le droit spatial et les lois de la guerre a l'utilisation du transport spatial commercial en conflit afin d'identifier les manques juridiques et l'unique interpretation americaine de l'enjeu.
