Stennis: Space safety, licensing site

WASHINGTON – Earlier this month, U.S. Sens. Roger Wicker(R-Miss.), chairman of the Senate Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation, and Cindy Hyde-Smith (R-Miss.), introduced the Licensing Innovations and Future Technologies in Space (LIFTS) Act. The bill would modernize training for the federal commercial space licensing workforce and promote collaboration with academia and industry by creating a centralized training facility for safety and licensing personnel. The new facility would be located at the NASA Stennis Space Center in Hancock County, Miss. (Source: Sen.
