; (B) of technical expertise to key studies and review boards; and (C) by consistently participating in interagency working groups to address rocket propulsion issues. 3. Rocket propulsion leadership (a) Sense of Congress It is the sense of Congress that the Marshall Space Flight Center is the National Aeronautics and Space Administration’s lead center for rocket propulsion and is essential to sustaining and promoting U.S. leadership in rocket propulsion and developing the next generation of rocket propulsion capabilities. (b) Leadership in rocket propulsion The Marshall Space Flight Center shall provide national leadership in rocket propulsion by— (1) contributing to interagency coordination for the preservation of critical national rocket propulsion capabilities; (2) collaborating with industry, academia, and professional organizations to most effectively use national capabilities and resources; (3) monitoring public- and private-sector rocket propulsion activities to develop and promote a strong, healthy rocket propulsion industrial base; (4) facilitating technical solutions for existing and emerging rocket propulsion challenges; (5) supporting the development and refinement of rocket propulsion for small satellites; (6) evaluating and recommending, as appropriate, new rocket propulsion technologies for further development; and (7) providing information required by national decisionmakers so that policies and other instruments of the Government support the development and strengthening of the Nation’s rocket propulsion capabilities throughout the 21st century.
