This working paper addresses the demand for coordination between the various interests related to the exploitation of space resources, given current regulatory gaps. The aim is to assess whether global governance in the area may lead to a new international regime that promotes cooperation in the development of appropriate strategies to face current and future problems. The research concludes that congruent aspects of international and governmental initiatives, as well as multi-stakeholder fora, are leading to the recognition of a set of principles and to the establishment of norms, rules and decision-making processes based on converging expectations on the topic, therefore, they may contribute to the regime formation and the sustainability of space exploitation. The research methodology is bibliographic and the deductive method was applied.
