Abstract
This article pertains to legal rules governing the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA). According to contemporary law, this agency should be classified as an independent agency with limited regulatory competences. Status, organization and functions of NASA are mainly described in the National Aeronautics and Space Program. In the remaining acts mentioned in the article, one can find rules that either directly relate to NASA or constitute such entities whose functions may be competitive with powers of NASA. Therefore, one aspect hereby analysed embraces other acts commercialising a space activity. There are no doubts that NASA is an agency which legal status will be modified according to technological progress that enables and develops more intensive human activity beyond the Earth.
