![Commercial Space Act of 1998
Public Law 105-303
An Act
To encourage the development of a commercial space industry in the United States, and for other purposes.
Oct. 28, 1998 - [H.R. 1702]
SEC. 101. COMMERCIALIZATION OF SPACE STATION.
(a) Policy.--The Congress declares that a priority goal of constructing the International Space Station is the economic
development of Earth orbital space. The Congress further declares that free and competitive markets create the most efficient
conditions for promoting economic development, and should therefore govern the economic development of Earth orbital
space. The Congress further declares that the use of free market principles in operating, servicing, allocating the use of, and
adding capabilities to the Space Station, and the resulting fullest possible engagement of commercial providers and
participation of commercial users, will reduce Space Station operational costs for all partners and the Federal Government's
share of the United States burden to fund operations.
SEC. 107. SOURCES OF EARTH SCIENCE DATA.
(a) Acquisition.--The Administrator shall, to the extent possible and while satisfying the scientific or educational requirements of
the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, and where appropriate, of other Federal agencies and scientific
researchers, acquire, where cost- effective, space-based and airborne Earth remote sensing data, services, distribution, and
applications from a commercial provider.
TITLE II--FEDERAL ACQUISITION OF SPACE TRANSPORTATION SERVICES
(a) In General.--Except as otherwise provided in this section, the Federal Government shall acquire space transportation
services from United States commercial providers whenever such services are required in the course of its activities. To the
maximum extent practicable, the Federal Government shall plan missions to accommodate the space transportation services
capabilities of United States commercial providers.](https://image.slidesharecdn.com/investorspace-opspresentation2dec2017-171202172244/85/Investor-space-ops-presentation_2_dec2017-23-320.jpg)
