Vice President Kamala Harris on Wednesday announced a new U.S. policy for novel space activities — private sector activities that are not directly regulated under the current U.S. regulatory system. Novel Space Activities Authorization and Supervision Framework will allow the executive branch to better prepare for and shape the future space regulatory environment. It is a companion executive action to proposed legislation that the National Space Council transmitted to Congress in November. The group will lead a process, working with the private sector, to develop and promote best practices and information sharing protocols to address core U.S. government interests common to novel space activities. Wednesday’s National Space Council meeting also focused on international partnerships.
