ABSTRACT
This chapter discusses the legal issues that impact sale of space-derived information to the Government. This is an important issue for many NewSpace companies, as the US Government is expected to continue to be a significant customer. Some of the issues arise due to the unique procurement process used by the US Government. Others arise due to the international nature of NewSpace and the associated national security and economic competitiveness concerns. In any event, it is important for a NewSpace company to understand these issues so as to effectively compete in this important market.
