Panel: Space Policy Outlook  
10:05-11:15 a.m. Tuesday, July 26  

For more than 20 years, the nation’s space policies have enabled humans to live and work continuously onboard the ISS. Research leveraging this powerful platform is advancing scientific knowledge and demonstrating new technologies that facilitate long-duration exploration into deep space and benefit life here on our planet. Building on this experience, the next decade provides the opportunity to further accelerate U.S. leadership in space. This panel will discuss how current U.S. space policy will influence the next decade of space-based research, the role of public and private partnerships, and the development of a thriving economy in low Earth orbit.
