2010 Citizen's Space Agenda

posted Feb 24, 2010 4:15 PM by Frank Johnson
ProSpace is proud to present the 2010 Citizen's Space Agenda. Next week, teams of dedicated volunteers will be briefing Congressional offices on these vital issues that will determine the future of commercial space development for our Nation. 

The theme of this year's agenda is "New Directions, New Jobs." With this agenda we call upon Congress to make both the technology investments and regulatory reforms needed to promote a vibrant and growing commercial space industry. These actions will promote the creation of thousands of new high-paying jobs here in the United States.

The action items of the 2010 Citizen's Space Agenda are:

ITAR reform
  • Support the addition to the Senate version of the Foreign Relations Authorization Act the authority to remove widely available satellite systems and components from the ITAR list.
  • Make certain that the bill presented to both the House and Senate for final passage retains this provision that is so vital to this nation’s international competitiveness.
Exploration
  • Require NASA to focus its human space flight development programs on technologies and processes designed for travel in space beyond low earth orbit.
  • Support robust funding for space exploration technology demonstration projects.
Commercial Services
  • Support the transition to commercial crew and cargo services for the International Space Station.
