NASA: Partnering with Private and State Entities for Space Activities
This new law allows NASA to partner with private companies and state governments, offering them support and services for space activities. This means citizens might see more innovation in the space sector as NASA can leverage its resources more efficiently without competing with the private market. All such services will be fully reimbursed by the external entities, ensuring no additional burden on the federal budget.
Key points
NASA can now enter agreements with private companies and state governments to provide space-related supplies, support, and services.
These collaborations must be in the best interest of the government, not interfere with NASA's own needs, and not compete with other commercial space activities.
All services provided by NASA under these agreements must be fully reimbursed by the requesting entity or state government.
