m3taversal 8d3460f9e0 astra: archive 13 seed source documents with proper schema
- What: 13 research documents that fed the 84 seed claims, archived
  with full source schema (type, domain, intake_tier, status,
  claims_extracted, tags)
- Why: closes the source archival loop — every claim traceable to
  its source. Covers: SpaceX, Blue Origin, Rocket Lab, Axiom Space,
  launch costs, habitation, governance, market structure, asteroid
  mining, manufacturing/power, microgravity, orbital data centers,
  fusion power landscape
- All marked status: processed with claims_extracted populated

the Artemis Accords create a de facto legal framework for space resource extraction signed by 61 countries but contested by China and Russia
the Outer Space Treaty created a constitutional framework for space but left resource rights property and settlement governance deliberately ambiguous
space governance gaps are widening not narrowing because technology advances exponentially while institutional design advances linearly
the Artemis Accords replace multilateral treaty-making with bilateral norm-setting to create governance through coalition practice rather than universal consensus
space traffic management is a governance vacuum because there is no mandatory global system for tracking maneuverable objects creating collision risk that grows nonlinearly with constellation scale
nearly all space technology is dual-use creating an irreducible tension between commercial development and national security

Space Governance, Regulation, and International Coordination

Research synthesis on the governance landscape for space activities. Covers the Outer Space Treaty framework, Artemis Accords as bilateral norm-setting, property rights ambiguity, resource extraction legal status, space debris governance vacuum, traffic management gaps, dual-use technology tensions, and the structural mismatch between technology pace and institutional adaptation.
