The article explains that the DoD doesn't want the job, and that having tracking run by the military makes multinational cooperation more difficult.
How would an RFP work? How are agencies like FAA or NASA or the US Forest Service supposed to bid on this if they don't know they'll have the budget for it?
- nxzero 10y agoMilitary would be required to provide a scope of work, privately state what their budget is, and it would be open to anyone that meets the stated requirement. Congress would review the proposals and select the winner and provide the budget needed. Honestly at this point, strongly feel there needs to be a agency explicitly responsible for commercializing space - and neither FAA or NASA have a track record of doing this.
