Re space situational awareness, DalBello, who led establishment of the Space Data Assn when he was at Intelsat >decade ago, says we still haven't solved issue of how govt and cmrcl space operators can "effortlessly" talk w/each other abt where sats are. #SWFSummit22
DalBello: Still aiming for IOC in 2024 for Open Access Data Repository. #SWFSummit22
DalBello: hope to have MOU wrapped up this summer between Dept of Commerce and DOD.
DalBello: But need your [audience at #SWFSummit22] ideas.
Need full dialogue with ALL spacefaring nations which is challenge especially now.
#SWFSummit22
DalBello: think team is relatively happy with updated earth remote sensing regs. They don't cover everything, eg we don't have authority over electronic gathering systems. May have to relook at that. #SWFSummit22

Chairwoman Rep. Eddie Bernice Johnson (EBJ as everyone calls her) wants an independent review of the Artemis program. It's critical "that we see a path to success" before increasing funding for it. Cmte wants NASA to succeed.
Ranking Member Frank Lucas (R-OK) agrees -- need realistic plans, budgets, schedules. Finding extra $10B for second HLS "no easy task." Don't want Senate auth to become an unfunded mandate.
NASA Admin Nelson (who decades ago served on this cmte and chaired its space sbcmt for 6 years): Ppl focus on 2024, but we're sending ppl back to the Moon in 2023. [But not to land that time]
