The article is devoted to the analysis of legal and economic contradictions related to the development of space resources. As a solution, it is proposed to form a multi-level international regime based on the principles of sustainability, inclusivity and pragmatism, and including the development of a comprehensive UN convention, the creation of an international platform for information exchange and the development of dispute resolution mechanisms (the purpose of the study). The objectives of the work are: 1) consideration of the conflict between the principle of the inadmissibility of national appropriation, enshrined in the Outer Space Treaty of 1967, and the growing commercial prospects for mining on the Moon and asteroids; 2) study of national approaches to this problem, as well as technical and infrastructural barriers. The author comes to the conclusion that the existing legal vacuum creates risks of monopolization, conflicts and the emergence of the «cosmic wild West». Research methods: systematic method, legal analysis, historical analysis.
