So we need to continue this public private partnership and continue to fund that so that we never give up on the legacy and the incredible work that the International Space Station started.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Addressing the need for infrastructure in space next, Robert Lightfoot, executive vice president of Lockheed Martin, said that we need to take a minute and \u201cget space down to Earth.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><script>var AIAD_fcd45f981d570e35cee941b23edc69c7_6a6d511c5dcd6;googletag.cmd.push(function(){var AIMAP_29b58f13885ebf8ea6b032f958eb0748 = googletag.sizeMapping().addSize([992, 100], [[970, 90], [970, 250]]).addSize([768, 100], [728, 90]).addSize([320, 100], [320, 50]).build();var AIMAP_737ce075cc05dd766c8f8ea08f3faa73 = googletag.sizeMapping().addSize([768, 100], [728, 90]).addSize([320, 100], [320, 50]).build();var AIMAP_21fe3bcfb86a8660aba4e721ee9338f3 = googletag.sizeMapping().addSize([1200, 100], [970, 250]).addSize([768, 100], [600, 300]).addSize([320, 100], [300, 250]).build();AIAD_fcd45f981d570e35cee941b23edc69c7_6a6d511c5dcd6 = googletag.defineSlot('\/987\/satellitetoday.com\/via-satellite-digital-issue-ads', [ [600, 300], [300, 250], [970, 250] ], 'div-gpt-ad-1774631144891- 0-6a6d511c5dcd8').defineSizeMapping(AIMAP_21fe3bcfb86a8660aba4e721ee9338f3).setCollapseEmptyDiv(true).addService(googletag.pubads());   });<\/script><script>googletag.cmd.push(function() { googletag.display('div-gpt-ad-1774631144891- 0-6a6d511c5dcd8'); });<\/script><\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe talk about things we\u2019re doing in space, and what we\u2019re going to do to continue to expand, \u201d he said. \u201cBut there\u2019s a lot of the general public that doesn\u2019t understand what we do in space and what the benefits are.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He told the story where he was speaking at an event about GPS satellites to a non-space audience, and made a comment that his company just shipped a GPS satellite. \u201cSomebody said, \u2018Why do I need GPS satellites anymore? I\u2019ve got it on my phone.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n<p>But there is a point to infrastructure development that can ring true with the general public, according to Lee Steinke, interim COO of Orbit Fab\/CIS Lunar Industries. \u201cInfrastructure development creates the stories around which you can generate a conversation that will draw more awareness of what we\u2019re doing,\u201d she said. \u201cIn reality as you develop the whole space economy, you\u2019re going to need all the dirty stuff that we do here. So having fuel depots, chemical supplies, whether that\u2019s source water or other sources, as well as just processing of materials, such as metal mining infrastructure in space, assembly and manufacturing, having the ability to produce and manufacture things at scale.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Gold said he couldn\u2019t agree more with Lee, adding that we\u2019re not going to be able to do any of this without power. \u201cSo please, please we look at the lunar surface. We talked to our friends at NASA and determined that we are going to be power constrained. We\u2019re not going to be sustainable, and I\u2019m glad that NASA public-private partnerships with other programs to ensure that we develop that infrastructure.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Moberly commented on infrastructure, beginning with the comment that we\u2019re kidding ourselves  by spending a lot of time thinking how to connect all the data, securely, and in a trusted manner. \u201cWe need to analyze this,\u201d he said. \u201cWe need to be working with everybody at this, and just about everybody in the audience, to connect all the dots. All these synergies of interconnectivity really come into fruition. That is a key foundational infrastructure need.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Gold took that thought a step further. \u201cI do think commercial space needs to stand up when it comes to forms of behavior and establishing the rules of the road in space because many of these operations are being conducted by the private sector,\u201d he said. \u201cWe can\u2019t just leave it to the Department of State and others to figure these things out. So I hope that we engage with the United Nations and with our various actors to ensure that interoperability because we\u2019re the ones who figure out what that will be.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He was referring to the development of standards. But, Lee said, when you\u2019re trying to develop technology that\u2019s supposed to be a standard, some of that may already be protected. \u201cPeople are reinventing the wheel, even our best friends across the pond,\u201d she said. \u201cWe can use the same tools to do this and solve the same problems. And I think that lack of communication is going to hold us back in terms of standardizing interoperability.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Bottom line going forward is getting the regulatory framework in place immediately. \u201cWe must get the regulatory framework right,\u201d Gold said enthusiastically. \u201cWe are about now to enter into Article Six of the Outer Space Treaty discussion, which is about the supervision of commercial space activities. This is the regime that\u2019s determined how we regulate commercial space stations, how we regulate satellite services, how we regulate what\u2019s going to happen with commercial systems. Industry must stand up and engage effectively with Congress and policymakers to ensure we get a regime that is inherently safe, supports interoperability and also creates an environment that can still be dynamic and innovative.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Increasing the economic viability of the space is making it more accessible to more and more companies and more people, said Sarah Schellpfeffer, sector vice president and CTO of Northrop Grumman Space Systems. \u201cWe\u2019re going to be able to ship things to Australia in two hours, for instance,\u201d she said. \u201cI think as we migrate to robotic capability, being able to reuse components, being able to move satellites around, with issues such as being able to mine things on asteroids and the moon, and able to take materials and use them in different ways those are things that we can\u2019t even conceive of right now.\u201d <strong>VS<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>,<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"widget-title\">In This Issue<\/h2>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t<!-- post id
