DECEMBER 9, 2020 – In support of the President’s policy, USGS and NASA will leverage their full technological abilities to meet the nation’s growing environmental information needs.
The 2020 National Space Policy, recently released by The White House, provides guidance for America’s civil, commercial and national security strategic investments in space. The National Space Policy is the President’s direction to U.S. Government departments and agencies to advance the interests of the United States in space for the benefit of the American people. The National Space Policy sets out the Nation’s commitment to leading in the responsible and constructive use of space, promoting a robust commercial space industry, returning Americans to the Moon and preparing for Mars, and leading in exploration, and defending U.S. and allied interests in space.
