In recent years, the subject of space stations have become of great practical, political and legal importance. The greatest achievement of the international community in this area is the construction and functioning of the International Space Station - an orbital space station. The further development of technology has inspired some countries to build space stations in the future also on celestial bodies. There are several important questions that occur in this matter- the legal status of space stations; the scope of f states’ jurisdiction and control o at these stations; or the extent of the state's powers to the part of the surface of the moon or other celestial body on which its station will be temporarily or permanently built.
