These questions require sustained leadership and a commitment to the space economy and its key infrastructure so that the “rules of the road” are clear, and space actors can appropriately invest in and develop the full spectrum of needed space infrastructure. The U.S. economy evolved and strengthened by becoming a dynamic national and global trading system based on equitable norms, behaviors, rules and laws.
