No-one owns the space in outer space. One of the terms of the Outer Space Treaty prohibits all government from claiming any space territory, including territory on the moons, planets and other celestial bodies.

The Outer Space Treaty was signed by the USA, the UK and the Soviet Union on 27 January 1967, coming into force on 10 October 1967. As of January 2008, 98 countries were states-parties to the treaty, while another 26 have signed the treaty although they had not completed ratification at that stage.
