FROM THE GUEST EDITOR PROFESSOR BIN CHENG MEMORIAL ISSUE

摘要

Professor Bin Cheng was the quintessential scholar and teacher, one of the earliest international lawyers to address international space law. It was clear that the space law community would wish to acknowledge his immense contribution to its development and impact on public international law following his sad death in October 2019. The Journal of Space Law took on this rewarding task and honoured me with its invitation to guest edit this issue. Many colleagues enthusiastically offered to contribute articles. Unfortunately not all the excellent offers could be accommodated and some were prevented from completion in the challenging circumstances currently prevailing. But I believe those included are representative of the topics of interest to Bin and to those now active in the field.
