Terms & disclaimer

The Orbital Asset Registry (OAR) assigns a stable identifier to every catalogued orbital object and consolidates identity, launch, ownership, orbit, corporate-status and legal-attribution information into a searchable record. It is an information service. It is not legal advice, not financial advice, and not an official governmental register.

Statements on asset pages about treaty obligations, launching-state liability, state succession and responsible entities are legal context: attributions of public international law, made per catalogue owner code, with their legal bases and caveats stated. The facts of a specific object (joint launches, procured launches, transfers of supervision) can displace a code-level attribution. Nothing here should be relied on for a legal, insurance, investment or operational decision without independent professional advice. Treaty citations link to the Space Law Corpus (DOI 10.5281/zenodo.21185483), where each authoritative text carries its provenance and content hash.

Orbital and catalogue data derive from CelesTrak (SATCAT and GP data), refreshed on a daily schedule. Corporate status is reported only from authoritative public registries (UK Companies House, US SEC EDGAR) with per-fact citations and retrieval dates. The state-succession layer is an open, DOI-minted dataset (DOI 10.5281/zenodo.21193714, CC BY 4.0). All data is provided as is, on a best-effort basis, without warranty of any kind — accuracy, completeness, currency and fitness for purpose are expressly not guaranteed, and the operator accepts no liability for loss arising from reliance on it. Catalogue feeds, registries and corporate events change faster than any registry can reflect.

Corrections are welcome and are applied as sourced, dated revisions: admin@orbitalassetregistry.org.
