This panel will discuss recent space industry developments, such as rapid rocket reuse and private human spaceflight, that have propelled significant Congressional and Administrative legal reform efforts. Expected expansions and possible reorganizations of space law authorities within the federal government will be examined in light of the current reconstitution of the National Space Council and the Space Policy Directives that have been adopted.
