Aero-News Quote of the Day

“On October 23, 2015, a senior official at the Office of the United States Trade Representative’s (USTR) international trade and development office, was quoted as stating that demand by American companies for commercial launch services had led the office to start a review of a policy that has been in place since 2005, and that the policy, implemented through export control licensing, ‘discourages U.S. commercial satellite operators from purchasing launch services from Indian launch companies’. The Committee is interested in understanding this policy.”
