It is the sense of Congress that commercially available suborbital flight platforms enable low-cost access to a microgravity environment to advance science and train scientists and engineers under the Suborbital Research Program established under section 802(c) of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration Authorization Act of 2010 ( 42 U.S.C. 18382(c) ). Not later than 270 days after the date of the enactment of this division, the Administrator shall submit to the appropriate committees of Congress a report evaluating the manner in which suborbital flight platforms can contribute to meeting the science objectives of NASA for the Science Mission Directorate and the Human Exploration and Operations Mission Directorate.
The report required by paragraph
(1)shall include the following: An assessment of the advantages of suborbital flight platforms to meet science objectives. An evaluation of the challenges to greater use of commercial suborbital flight platforms for science purposes. An analysis of whether commercial suborbital flight platforms can provide low-cost flight opportunities to test lunar and Mars science payloads.
