Three years after the launch of the first Russian module Zarya, the Space Station is now operational, being made up of a central block, to which the various pressurised modules where the astronauts live and work during their stay on board are connected, of a first linking and docking node, "Unity", of the first of the four research labs, the American module"Destiny", and of the Russian module "Zvezda" with control and living functions. During these first years of the Station, the astronauts live in the service module Zvezda. The fourth crew has been positioned in the Station, carrying out maintenance and control operations of the Station itself, scientific experiments and space walks. The paper intends to analyse the rules of the code of conduct, agreed upon by all Partners, in accordance with art. 11 of the IGA. Together with the standards of conduct, applicable to all crew members, the paper will focus on the exercise of the Commander's authority, the chain of command on orbit and the relationship with the Flight Director on ground. In order to transport goods and experiments, some Multi-Purpose Logistic Modules have already been used (Leonardo, Donatello, Raffaello), transported to the Space Shuttle Station at times together with the new Station crew. Attention will be placed on the flight rules which should be issued, in such cases, in order to regulate the relationship between the ISS Commander, the ETOV (Earth to Orbit Vehicle) Commander and the Rescue Vehicle Commander. Jurisdiction over the astronauts, during the time spent in activities outside the vehicle - which are becoming more and more frequent in order to control the functionality and docking of the modules - is a new question to be solved. Finally, the paper will cover the questions concerning jurisdiction, responsibility and relationship with the crew in view of the transportation and subsequent presence in the Station of "space tourists".
