Legal aspects in relation to this project are practically non-existent. There is no law or regulations for any kind of traffic at these altitudes. United States aviation and aerospace laws does not contemplate any ruling above 25.000 meters of altitude. Further, the United Nations has a treaty for outer space regulation; however, it does not provide any rule for high altitude or near-space intervention.
