The UN Convention on Registration of Objects Launched into Outer Space defines a "space object" to include component parts of a space object as well as its launch vehicle and parts thereof. All well and good for keeping track of things floating around in the stratosphere, but what if you made your space object here in the US using imported (read “duty-paid”) components. That space object lifts off, and there go all those dollars in duty payments. Can you get any of that back?
