It is the sense of Congress that space facilities for use beyond low-Earth orbit play a significant role in NASA’s long-term pursuit of its exploration goals under section 202(a) of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration Authorization Act of 2010 ( 42 U.S.C. 18312(a) ). Not later than 90 days after the date of enactment of this Act, the Administrator shall submit to the Committee on Science, Space, and Technology of the House of Representatives and the Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation of the Senate a report on the potential development of space facilities for use beyond low-Earth orbit. The report required under paragraph
(1)shall include a description of— how each such space facility can advance, enable, or complement human exploration of the Solar System, including of the atmosphere and the surface of celestial bodies; the role of the space facility as a staging, logistics, and operations hub in an exploration architecture; how the space facility could support the research, development, testing, validation, operation, and launch of space exploration systems and technologies; opportunities and strategies for commercial operation or public-private partnerships that protect taxpayer interests and foster competition; and the role of such a space facility in making, developing, and refining the case for further crewed and uncrewed exploration investments.
