It is the policy of the United States to provide oversight and continuing supervision of nongovernmental space activities in a manner that encourages the fullest commercial use of space, consistent with section 20102(c) of title 51, United States Code. It is the sense of Congress that— increased activity and new applications in space could grow the space economy; it is in the national interest of the United States— to encourage and promote new and existing nongovernmental space activities; and to provide authorization and continuing supervision of those activities through a process that is efficient, transparent, minimally burdensome, and generally permissive; and to conduct those activities in a manner that fully protects United States national security assets, NASA human spaceflight and exploration systems, NASA and NOAA satellites, and other Federal assets that serve the public interest.
