The development of commercial activities in outer space is changing rapidly, and the increase of commercial activities will inevitably lead to a variety of disputes. However, the unclear basis of claims for damages caused by Private Enterprises engaging in commercial activities in outer space has caused serious obstacles to the development of commercial activities in outer space, and the rules of liability of Private Enterprises engaging in commercial activities in outer space should be re-examined. Considering the special nature of outer space commercial activities and the influence of various realistic factors, as well as the fact that a single subject of liability does not fully guarantee the rights and interests of the injured party. The liability for damages caused by Private Enterprises engaged in commercial activities in outer space should be shared between the state and Private Enterprises. Private Enterprises should bear the responsibility for direct damages occurring in the course of its commercial activities in outer space, and the state should bear supplementary responsibility for damages caused by Private Enterprises.
