It is the sense of Congress that— enhancing the ability of researchers to conduct and interact with experiments while in flight would make huge advancements in the overall profitability of conducting research on suborbit and low-Earth orbit payloads; and current NASA communications do not allow for real-time data collection, observation, or transmission of information. The Administrator shall conduct a study on the feasibility, impact, and cost of using commercial communications programs services for suborbital flight programs and low-Earth orbit research.
Not later than 18 months after the date of the enactment of this division, the Administrator shall submit to Congress and make publicly available a report that describes the results of the study conducted under subsection (b).
