Uzay, insanlık için sonsuz keşif fırsatları sunan sınırsız bir alan olarak görülüyor. Bununla birlikte, uzayda hızla artan faaliyetler ve kaynak kullanımı, mekan yönetimi ve özellikle mülkiyet konusunda yeni zorluklar getirmektedir. Günümüzde, uzayın karmaşık ve yoğun doğası, uzaydaki nesneleri izlemeyi, kaydetmeyi ve yönetmeyi zorlaştırmaktadır. Bu nedenle, uzay için geleneksek kadastro kavramını esas alan yeni bir “Uzay Kadastrosu” konseptinin geliştirilmesi ve uygulanması, uzayın sürdürülebilir ve etkin yönetimi için önemli bir adım olacaktır. Uzay Kadastrosu, uzaydaki mülkiyet haklarının, varlıkların, faaliyetlerin ve kaynakların izlenmesi ve kaydedilmesi için sistematik bir yasal ve teknik çerçeve sağlar. Geleneksel kadastro kavramını uzaya genişleterek, özellikle harita desteği ile uzaydaki nesnelerin konumunu, hareketini ve sahipliğini düzenli olarak belirlemeyi amaçlamaktadır. Bu yaklaşım, tıpkı Dünya üzerindeki geleneksel kadastro gibi uzaydaki faaliyetlerin kayıt altına alınmasını, envanterinin çıkarılmasını, izlenmesini ve yönetilmesini kolaylaştırmakta ve günümüzde kamu ve özel kesimler tarafından kullanıldığı gibi kalıcı ve sürdürülebilir bir hukuk temelli kayıt sistemi oluşturmaktadır. Bu çalışmada yenilikçi bir bakış açısı olarak “Uzay Kadastrosu” kavramının gerekliliği, kapsamı, hukuki ve teknik altyapısı ile temel bileşenleri üzerinde detaylı bir tartışma yapılmış ve yeni yaklaşımın temel ilkeleri üzerine açıklamalar sunulmuştur.
