Congress finds that— section 71301 of title 51, United States Code, directs the Administrator to enter into discussions with the appropriate representatives of spacefaring nations who have or plan to have crew transportation systems capable of orbital flight or flight beyond low Earth orbit for the purpose of agreeing on a common docking system standard ; the development of an international docking standard has been beneficial in promoting Government and private sector space exploration, interoperability, and United States international leadership; NASA continues the development described in paragraph
(2)by coordinating the development of joint international deep space interoperability standards; and the long-term goals of NASA, as described in section 202(a) of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration Authorization Act of 2010 ( 42 U.S.C. 18312(a) ), include expanding permanent human presence beyond low-Earth orbit. It is the sense of Congress that— the plans of NASA for crewed exploration beyond low-Earth orbit should involve a wide array of partners to address the technological challenges of deep space exploration; the development of common terminology and concepts for spacecraft design and safety will help promote NASA leadership in space and spacecraft design; the adoption of common design and safety terminology and concepts across NASA would enable NASA to pursue the long-term goals of NASA, described in section 202(a) of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration Authorization Act of 2010 ( 42 U.S.C. 18312(a) ), in a manner that is effective and efficient; and NASA should continue to develop and promote common terminology and concepts for spacecraft design and safety.
