Policy and Public Affairs

In a move widely hailed by the industry and supported by the Space Foundation, the administration recently released a new Commercial Remote Sensing Policy, establishing guidance and implementation actions for commercial remote sensing capabilities.

The new policy provides general guidance to U.S. government agencies (Dept. of Defense, NOAA, NASA, State, Commerce and others) in balancing the regulation of remote sensing activities with the need for stimulating the industry. Specific objectives include streamlining the licensing process, recognizing the existence of foreign systems and the need of U.S. industry to remain competitive, and improving the export system while protecting national security. Additionally, the policy encourages the development of a sustained public-private partnership, based on commercial remote sensing industries being the federal governments first-choice, preferred provider for geospatial products and services.

The White House Office of Science and Technology Policy Fact Sheet on the new policy may be found at www.ostp.gov.

The Space Foundation worked with the administration during the policy review and drafting process, advising on industry concerns and desires, and arranging industry review and feedback.

The Right Stuff

You’ve got to love this industry’s ability to be future focused and success oriented. From April 7-10 a record-breaking crowd gathered at the 19th National Space Symposium in Colorado Springs. Despite a lousy economy, uncertainty in the wake of STS-107, over- capacity and poor orders in commercial satellite manufactur- ing and commercial launch, war in Iraq and any other number of negative indicators – the industry showed up in record numbers to hear from the nation’s space policy leaders and talk together about transforming the future of space. CAPT James Lovell, USN (Retired) The Space Foundation owes a debt of gratitude to the most impressive roster of high-level speakers ever to grace the podium at any space conference ever held. The NASA presence was its greatest ever, with the Administrator, Chief of Staff, Deputy Chief of Staff, a half-dozen Center Directors and other key players involved. The national security space com- munity was omnipresent, including the Secretary of the Air Force, Chief of Staff of the Air Force, Deputy Secretary of the Air Force/NRO Director, Director of Defense Research and Engineering, and the com- manders of U.S. Strategic Command, Air Force Space Command, U.S. Northern Command and other key leaders. The titans of industry were also well represented, as well as a few of the more interesting entrepreneurs. All in all, it was a program that helped attract a record-shattering 5,200 total attendees. But what was most amazing about this gathering was not its size. What was truly remarkable was the infectious upbeat energy that carried the conference on a wave of enthusiasm from start to finish. Clearly this is an industry with many current concerns, but the overwhelming emotions of the week were hope, patriotism, determination and unflagging optimism. “Can do!” The Right Stuff. You had to be there. 2003 Space Technology Hall of Fame winners The Space Foundation is honored to be the steward of this great national treasure and proud of its service to this incomparable industry. The National Space Symposium is an overnight success story that has been 19 years in the making. At one time or another virtually everyone in this industry has had a hand in shaping the event. I hope you will help us continue to improve the Symposium by sending your observations and suggestions to me personally at CEO@spacefoundation.org With your help I know we can make the 20th Anniversary National Space Symposium the most awesome, productive, value-added event the space industry has ever seen! On To Omaha . . . and Washington! In other symposia news . . . as U.S. Strategic Command has assumed the space and space-related missions of the former U.S. Space Command, and, with the command further assuming previously unassigned missions that tie closely to space, it is critically important that the industry turn its attention toward Omaha. In close consultation with Strategic Command, the Space Foundation and Space News have launched Strategic Space 2003 – a highly focused national security space conference to take place in Omaha from Sept. 2-4. Space Foundation board member General Thomas S. Moorman, Jr., USAF (Retired) serves as Special Program Adviser for Strategic Space 2003, which will focus on bringing together the command, its component organizations, industry and space policy leaders. (www.stratspace.org for more information) And don’t forget to mark your calendars for Oct. 28-30, when the Foundation’s International Space Symposium makes its return to Washington, D.C. Given the complex international developments of the past six months, the 2003 International Space Symposium should be one of the most interesting and important gatherings of the global space business leadership in recent memory! Elliot G. Pulham President & CEO
