Description
This panel explains the regulatory framework through which private companies will be able to partner with NASA as the Artemis program moves forward. The history of NASA is also a history of public/private partnerships. This material begins with an understanding of the legal rules that governs the traditional procurement process followed by federal agencies that hire private contractors. But partnering with NASA can take many non-traditional forms, including the licensing of NASA intellectual property, entering into one of the very flexible Space Act Agreements with NASA, or partnering with NASA through one of the competitive programs that have already proven successful in developing the next generation of launch vehicles to deliver cargo and crew to the International Space Station. The panelists will share their views on other regulatory challenges faced by companies, such as SpaceX and their suppliers, that provide products and services to domestic and international customers.
