In August 2019, the world was alarmed by an alleged space crime involving astronaut Anne McClain, accused of accessing her ex-partner's account from the International Space Station (ISS), marking the first crime in space. This thesis explores the legal status of the ISS under space law and determines the applicable jurisdiction. Utilizing normative juridical research and referencing key space treaties and international law principles, it concludes that the ISS has joint ownership based on the common heritage principle and the 1967 Space Treaty and 1972 Liability Convention. The jurisdiction in the Anne McClain case falls under the United States, relying on territoriality and active nationality principles. The 1968 Rescue Agreement does not apply as the crime was not committed in the role of an astronaut ambassador but as an individual U.S. citizen
