Citizens' Advisory Council on National Space Policy

A Citizens' Advisory Council on National Space Policy is a group of people who give advice to the government on the best way to use space technology. The council meets regularly and listens to public opinion, to experts in the space industry, and to government leaders to give advice on how to use space technology to benefit all citizens of the United States. The group also looks into ways to make sure the use of space technology is safe and free of any hazards. The advice they give helps the government decide on things like what types of spacecraft to use, what type of research to do in space, and how to protect our planet from space debris.
