It is the sense of Congress that— orbital debris, particularly in low-Earth orbit, poses a hazard to NASA missions, particularly human spaceflight; and progress has been made on the development of guidelines for long-term space sustainability through the United Nations Committee on the Peaceful Uses of Outer Space. The Administrator should— ensure the policies and standard practices of NASA meet or exceed international guidelines for spaceflight safety; and support the development of orbital debris mitigation technologies through continued research and development of concepts.
Not later than 90 days after the date of the enactment of this division, the Administrator shall submit to the appropriate committees of Congress a report on the status of implementing subsection (b).
