Space Foundation Represented at ISPCS

Brendan Curry, vice president – Washington Operations, represented the Space Foundation in October at the International Symposium for Personal and Commercial Spaceflight (ISPCS) in New Mexico.

Curry was part of a panel discussion on the challenges and opportunities of implementing the new U.S. space policy. His comments covered: 

• Areas where there could be new commercial space opportunities
• The challenges to create and maintain a robust domestic launch industry
• A review of progress on export controls in both the congress and administration
• Emphasis on having the U.S. government transfer more routine space activities from being government-run, to being taken up by private sector.
• The Space Foundation’s positive reaction to increased emphasis on international cooperation
