Space law
The birth of an outer space comes into reality from the International Space Station which is presently governed by international treaty known as The Intergovernmental agreement on space station cooperation.
This agreement promises that in the area of criminal jurisdiction, every nation on the ISS or associated with it have there own criminal jurisdiction on their own people even if they are in space.
Pertaining to our First crime in space both the parties are of US citizen, which shows it can be dealt in there own land by there own laws.
