She is a former member of the Space Studies Board. CLAUDE R. CANIZARES is the vice president for research, associate provost, and Bruno Rossi Professor of Physics at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). He has overall responsibility for research activity and policy at MIT, overseeing more than a dozen interdisciplinary research laboratories and centers, including the MIT Lincoln Laboratory, the Broad Institute, the Plasma Science and Fusion Center, the Research Laboratory of Electronics, the Institute for Soldier Nanotechnologies, the Francis Bitter Magnet Laboratory, Haystack Observa- tory, and the Division of Health Sciences and Technology. He also oversees several offices dealing with research policy and administration, chairs the Research Policy Committee, and serves on the Academic Council and the Academic Appointments Committee. Dr. Canizares is the associate director of the Chandra X-ray Center and a principal investigator on NASA’s Chandra X-ray Observatory. Dr. Canizares is a member of the National Academy of Sciences. He chaired the Space Studies Board from 1994 to 2000. JOHN R. CASANI is special assistant to the director of the Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL). He is the JPL director’s lead person on issues related to the International Traffic in Arms Regulations. During his long career in project management and system engineering, he has served as project manager for the Voyager mission to the outer planets, the Galileo mission to Jupiter, and the Cassini mission to Saturn, and he held project positions in JPL’s early Explorer, Pioneer, Ranger, and Mariner space missions. He has received NASA’s Distinguished Ser- vice, Outstanding Leadership, and Exceptional Achievement medals; the Space Systems Award from the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics; the von Karman Lectureship in Astronautics; and the National Space Club’s Astronaut’s Engineer Award. Dr. Casani is a member of the National Academy of Engineering. JACQUELINE N. HEWITT is a professor of physics and director of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology Kavli Institute for Astrophysics and Space Research. The focus of her research is the application of radio astronomy, interferometry, and signal processing to basic research in astrophysics and cosmology. Dr. Hewitt’s honors include the American Physical Society’s Maria Goeppert Mayer Award, the International Union of Radio Science’s Henry G. Booker Prize, the National Science Foundation’s Presidential Young Investigator Award, and the Annie Jump Cannon Award in astronomy. She is a former member of the Space Studies Board. RAPPORTEUR MARGARET G. FINARELLI is a senior fellow in the Center for Aerospace Policy Research at George Mason University. She began her career with NASA and other U.S. government agencies focused on strategy develop- ment and negotiations in domestic space policy and international relations in science and technology. At NASA (1981-2000), she rose to the position of associate administrator for policy coordination and international relations. She was responsible for developing the international partnerships in the International Space Station program and led the U.S. team conducting the international negotiations that resulted in the agreements governing NASA’s cooperation with Europe, Japan, and Canada.

ITAR, which controls defense trade, includes the U.S. Munitions List (USML) which specifies categories of defense articles and services covered by the regulations. In 1999, space satellites were added to the USML. In 2002 ITAR was amended to exclude U.S. universities from having to obtain ITAR licenses when performing fundamental research involving foreign countries and/or persons. Despite this provision, there remains considerable uncertainty among university researchers about whether the regulations apply to their research leading to a rather conservative interpretation of the regulations and the imposition of burdens that might not be necessary. To explore this concern, NASA asked the NRC to organize a workshop of all stakeholders on the implications of ITAR for space science. This book presents a summary of the workshop discussions including those on perspectives on recent developments and implementation of ITAR; overarching issues; problems arising from ITAR's implementation; and opportunities for near-term actions and improvements.
