Notice.
The U.S. Department of State
seeks private sector participation in a
series of domestic and international

responsible exploration and use of outer
space.
DATES: Participants will provide their
perspectives on Department equities
and/or serve as private sector advisors
to U.S. delegations to one or more
workshops, meetings, symposia, and
other international events related to
safety, sustainability, responsible
behavior, and emerging markets in outer
space until December 31, 2025.
ADDRESSES: Solicitations for private
sector participation in specific events,
including event dates and locations,
will be posted at least 30 days prior to
the event on https://www.state.gov/

SUMMARY:

Policy and the 2021 United States Space
Priorities Framework. Participation from
the U.S. private sector will also help
inform the United States’ international
engagements and provide an
opportunity for participants to better
understand international perspectives
on pressing outer space issues.
Events will vary in location and
format, to include fully online, hybrid,
and in-person activities. Short notice
modification of plans may be required
in response to unpredictable factors.
Meetings may be stand alone or on the
margins of related events, which may
include, but are not limited to, the
United Nations Committee on the
Peaceful Uses of Outer Space
(UNCOPUOS) Scientific and Technical
Subcommittee (STSC), the UNCOPUOS
Legal Subcommittee (LSC), the
UNCOPUOS plenary, events organized
by the UN Office for Outer Space
Affairs, and other engagements. There
may also be additional opportunities to
provide expert views related to
domestic policies and U.S. positions in
other international diplomatic fora.
Please note the limited number of slots
for non-USG participation in many
events.
Participants should focus on the
following:
Safety: Identify key safety issues for
crewed and/or uncrewed outer space
operations. Discuss current attempts to
address these issues and suggest new
challenges that may develop as private
sector space activities advance and
evolve.
Sustainability: Explore efforts to
promote sustainable and responsible
behavior in space. Examine best
practices and guidelines aimed at
safeguarding the outer space
environment for future exploration and
use. In particular, implementation of the
2019 UNCOPUOS Long-Term
Sustainability (LTS) guidelines and the
multi-nation Artemis Accords should be
considered.
Emerging Markets: Discuss the
challenges to an economically viable
space industry and how these
challenges relate to the domestic
regulatory and international governance
frameworks. Share recent advances
within the commercial space sector and
how they may develop in the future.
Evaluate how an expanding commercial
sector may affect equities like terrestrial
based astronomy, planetary protection,
orbital debris mitigation, space resource
utilization, and other aspects of safe and
sustainable operations in outer space.
Facilitating Private Sector Input:
Suggest ways to enhance collaboration
between the U.S. Government, foreign
countries, and commercial space
