Since the beginning of space activities, the low-Earth orbit has remained one of the most sought-after destinations in space. At the time the 1967 Outer Space Treaty was adopted as the foundation of international space law, its drafters could not foresee such a rich variety in space activities. Lex lata therefore only defines the basic principles of the exploration and use of outer space and does not contain a detailed regulation to ensure safety of space navigation. The growing number of satellites and space debris leads to an increase of dangerous approaches in space. Сurrent space regime is no longer able to ensure safety of space activities. This article outlines the need to establish the legal regime of space navigation. The author suggests defining safety zones for space objects in orbit including satellites.
