National Space Council Meeting at Johnson Space Center, September 2022
Vice President Kamala Harris held her second meeting of the National Space Council on September 9, 2022 at NASA’s Johnson Space Center. No major decisions were made, but several tasks were assigned to Council members.
The three main topics were STEM education (as it was at the first meeting in December 2021), NASA’s human spaceflight program, and creating regulations for novel commercial space activities.
