Congress finds that— the development of new hypersonic flight technologies is important to the United States; though hypersonic flight technologies are likely to be applied to enhance defense systems in the near-term, in the long-term, application of such technologies may expand to include improved access-to-space capabilities that benefit NASA; and NASA maintains specialized facilities and experts who will focus on research areas that explore challenges in hypersonic flight.
In carrying out the Hypersonic Technology project, NASA should focus research and development efforts on high-speed propulsion systems, reusable vehicle technologies, high-temperature materials, and systems analysis. Subject to the availability of appropriations, the Administrator shall make available at least $30,000,000 for fiscal year 2019 for the Hypersonic Technology project.
