§50502 Launch voucher demonstration program

Summary

The Administrator must set up a demonstration program that gives vouchers to pay for commercial launch services and payload integration for payloads funded by the Administration. Vouchers must be awarded through the Administration’s grants to appropriate individuals for suborbital launches and for small payloads placed into orbit. The Administrator may also give help, like contract drafting and technical support during proposal review, so recipients can buy cost-effective and reasonably reliable commercial services.
