Planetary Solutions, PLLC advises governments, space agencies, and private-sector stakeholders on the legal and policy frameworks that support commercial space activities. Led by Steve Mirmina, who brings more than 25 years of international law experience from the NASA Office of the General Counsel, the firm works at the intersection of international cooperation, national regulation, and emerging commercial activity.

  • With 25+ years advising on international space law and over 1,000 agreements negotiated and interpreted, Planetary Solutions helps clients interpret relevant treaties and law into practical application. Planetary Solutions advises on what obligations and rights actually mean on an operational basis—so clients can move forward with confidence and reduced risk.

  • Planetary Solutions provides strategic and legal support to structure bilateral and multilateral space cooperation that aligns stakeholders, protects national and commercial interests, and enables missions to launch. Having negotiated with partners across the globe for the last quarter century, we draft agreements that are operationally workable and legally defensible. We construct legal frameworks that reduce friction, clarify roles and responsibilities, and accelerate implementation.

  • Planetary Solutions is available to advise on updating national space legislation to reflect international commitments and best practices while addressing new capabilities including in-space servicing, space sustainability, debris mitigation, and other commercial operations. We focus on creating predictable, credible national regimes that reduce risk, decrease insurance costs, and enable long-term investment.

  • Planetary Solutions provides tailored education and training in space law and space governance for judges, government officials, policymakers, students, law firms, and commercial space organizations. Building on Professor Mirmina’s years teaching Space Law at Georgetown, Yale, and Vanderbilt, the firm develops programs that fit the audience and format, from focused half-day executive briefings to multi-day seminars and one- to two-week courses.
