The article analyzes the public administration of space activities in such countries as Australia, Brazil, South Korea, People’s Republic of China, and the United States of America. Regulatory legal acts intended to regulate the space activities of some European Union member states were also analyzed. Comparing the legislation of different countries with different legal systems allowed us to state that there are serious obstacles on the way of combining the efforts of different countries in the field of space activities due to the national and cultural specifics of space exploration by representatives of different peoples. Therefore, this specificity determines the priorities for each specific country in the space sector. It is found out that at the present stage, global space activities are faced with the task of active development of public-private partnership, while the characteristic features for this area are not clearly defined. There is a need for a conceptual understanding of the role and place of private operators of commercial space services. The problem of scientific justification of rational forms of intra-industry and intersectoral integration and cooperation in the context of the new space doctrine is waiting for its solution.
