Many U.S. agencies play roles in our space programs. An interagency space management body, reporting directly to the White House, will provide efficient oversight and allow for crosscutting programs. Such leadership is needed to develop and maintain a cohesive national space strategy and establish a national architecture and budgets for meeting requirements. Congress must oversee a sound national space strategy and appropriate sufficient and stable funding to support this critical national resource.
Interagency coordination at the highest level, a national space strategy and stable funding are all critical to preserving America’s global leadership in space.
