The fundamental documents of space law support this claim. Although spatial technology has progressed greatly, but space law is ambiguous in this regard, and the high cost and potential benefits of space exploration raise the question of whether spatial mighty countries share their discoveries with other countries? The important point is that developing countries are committed to allocating the interests of space exploration for economic development, while industrialized countries are less committed to economic development than developing countries. So these countries have more control over their own space programs, and their programs have more economic value. This article argues that powerful space-based nations have certain legal obligations about sharing the interests of space exploration that are ambiguous in some respects, and developing countries need to fair share of these interests as high as possible. The system of sharing interests only succeeds in helping the interests of the space nations; both developed and non-developed countries.
