The V.P. of the US, Dan Quayle, asked his Space Policy Advisory Board to conduct a review of current national space policy. He charged them with making policy recommendations that would: increase the efficiency of federal government space activities to enable the best space program possible for the funds available; maintain US leadership and competitiveness for the 21st century; and sustain an industrial base capable of supporting future national security, civil, and commercial space requirements. The group has completed this review and found that space systems and missions remain important elements of government activity. Specifically, some findings are: current space activities are not appropriate for post Cold War era; economic competitiveness of the space related industrial sector promotes civil and national security interest; and enhanced international cooperation presents an opportunity for the US which should be pursued. The group recommends that the US: change the way space activities are organized and managed; reduce and eliminate security constraints associated with national security; revitalize a more productive cooperation between the government and the space industry; and take the initiative in shaping a common international agenda in selected areas of civil and national security space activity to address global problems and to maintain US influence.
