Additionally, the bill includes provisions to promote international cooperation in space situational awareness and traffic coordination. By working with other countries and organizations, the United States can improve its ability to track and manage space activities on a global scale. Overall, Bill 119 s 428 aims to enhance the United States' capabilities in space situational awareness and traffic coordination, while also promoting international cooperation in outer space activities. By improving our ability to monitor and coordinate activities in space, the bill seeks to ensure the safety and sustainability of space operations for years to come.
