Leveraging Commercial Innovation To Enhance Existing Federal SSA/STM Data The President and the Secretary of Commerce (Secretary) have taken significant steps to ensure that the U.S. continues to lead the world in innovation and economic prosperity from space operations, research, and communications. On February 21, 2018, in accordance with prior law and practice, the National Space Council recommended that the President make the Department of Commerce (Department) responsible for a variety of commercial space regulatory functions.1 Similarly, the President recognized that the U.S. ‘‘must set priorities for space situational awareness (SSA) and [space traffic management (STM)] innovation in science and technology (S&T), incorporate national security considerations, encourage growth of the U.S. commercial space sector, establish an updated STM architecture, and promote space safety standards and best practices across the international community’’ and placed responsibility for addressing commercial SSA and STM services upon the Department.2 Nongovernmental SSA solutions are being developed that could significantly improve, beyond the current provisioning of SSA data and limited STM services by the Federal government, the ability to detect and characterize space objects and these improvements could further enhance integration of SSA and STM cooperation between US government and nongovernmental space operators. Reflective of these commercial innovations, on June 18, 2018, the President issued Space Policy Directive–3, the National Space Traffic Management Policy (SPD–3), charging the Department to take significant actions regarding commercial SSA and STM services.3 While recognizing that U.S. citizens, businesses, and national interests depend heavily on space technologies and space-based capabilities, the President made clear that the increasing congestion in space threatens both current uses of space and future investments to grow the space economy.4 For the purposes of this RFI, both SSA and STM are defined in Section 2 of SPD–3.5 1 See Record of Decision, National Space Council, NSpC ROD–2018–01 (Feb. 21, 2018), 5. 2 See Space Policy Directive–3, National Space Traffic Management Policy, 83 FR 28969 (Jun. 21, 2018) (SPD–3). 3 See id. 4 See id. at 28969. 5 See id. at 28970 (defining SSA as ‘‘the knowledge and characterization of space objects Continued E:\FR\FM\11APN1.SGM 11APN1
