The [[Outer Space Treaty]] provides the basic framework for international space law. This treaty covers the legal use of outer space by nation states, and includes in its definition of ''outer space'' the [[Moon]] and other celestial bodies. The treaty states that outer space is free for all nation states to explore and is not subject to claims of national [[sovereignty]]. It also prohibits the deployment of [[nuclear weapon]]s in outer space. The treaty was passed by the [[United Nations General Assembly]] in 1963 and signed in 1967 by the [[USSR]], the [[United States of America]] and the [[United Kingdom]]. As of January 1, 2008 the treaty has been signed by 98 states and ratified by an additional 27 states.<ref>{{cite web | date=January 1, 2008
