A more complicated matter is that which Tsiolkovsky called 'scientific investigation.' This stage begins when the general development of scientific knowledge has reached a level of sophistication sufficient to allow someone to appear who is able to envision a way of realizing the dream (very often it is several people who live far apart and who work independently of one another)

for accomplishing an aggressive science, technology and commercial development program while simultaneously limiting government functions to policy and oversight. The ultimate success of the orbital R&D program depends equally on the efficient operation of the space and ground assets (laboratories, spacecraft, space station...J and on the optimal utilization of the assets by the R&D and business communities.

Engage the engineering community in a collaborative endeavor to aggressively expand the technological capability of the International Space Station and enable future human exploration and development of space. Engage the space operations community in a revolutionary transition toward cheaper, better and quicker access to space for the conduct of R&D and commercial endeavors.

In the event recovery of public operating costs prohibits profitable operations, or the supply of station accommodations is exhausted, commercial enterprises could relocate to privately owned and operated space platforms.

The selections would conform to the programmatic objectives and funding levels of the respective sponsors. Technology Development: Projects could be internally reviewed by the NGO Technology Program Office and selected based on engineering feasibility.

From page 74... ...
The NGO could issue formal notifications of award, subject to the principles on program integrity and project selection. In cases of commercial ventures, with private funding, notifications could be confidential by prior request.

From page 75... ...
The role of the NGO Project Scientists and Engineers could be to assist non-resident flight research projects through the steps associated with physical, analytical, and operations integration of flight research projects. The NGO could be based in a physical facility (public or private)
|
From page 76... ...
The NGO could interface with public and private funding sources for space station related policy, oversight and strategic direction; with the space station operator (public or private) for payload accommodations and system operations integration, with world-wide academic, industrial and government organizations for space station R&D project performance; with private organizations for commercial ventures, and; with an external advisory committee for independent annual review.

From page 77... ...
In the case of the United States, independent advice and guidance could also be provided by the standing boards and committees of the National Research Council. The NASA Advisory Council, and its standing committees and subcommittees, could perform periodic reviews at the request of the NASA program sponsoring offices.
