What this amendment would do

SA 3633, submitted by Mr. Hickenlooper, aims to add Section 1508 to bill S. 2296. The purpose of this addition is to require a report on how the Department of Defense and the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) work together.

The amendment requires the Secretary of Defense, consulting with the NASA Administrator, to provide a report to specific Congressional committees within 180 days of the Act's enactment.

The report must include:

  • A detailed assessment of current cooperation between the Department of Defense and NASA.
  • Recommendations and an assessment for improving future joint engagement.
  • An assessment of personnel exchanges, including the strategic benefits and feasibility of:
    • Joint duty billets for Space Force personnel at NASA.
    • Rotational assignments for NASA employees within Space Force units and the United States Space Command.
  • Identification of potential career incentives for these joint duties and rotational assignments.

The report will be unclassified but can have a classified annex.
