Legislation
American Space Access Act (H.R. 1962)
Washington,
May 23, 2009
On April 2, 2009, Congressman Posey introduced the American Space Access Act as one way Congress can act to address the space gap. Specifically the American Space Access Act extends the life of the space shuttle through 2015 or until either NASA’s next generation space system, Constellation, comes online or a domestic supplier is certified by NASA as capable of taking humans into space and docking with the International Space Station. The bill also calls for bringing the Constellation program online earlier and authorizes the funds that are necessary for both of these activities.
