The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) has separate, broad authority to encourage private sector use of NASA space research and technology, as well as a long history of working with industry. NASA's mandates include both the 1958 Space Act and the President's National Space Policy issued in 1989. As is the case with CRDAs, Space Act Agreements can be used to provide mutual leverage of government and industry resources in the cooperative pursuit of R&D efforts. Under its authority, NASA enters into a variety of nonreimbursable or reimbursable agreements involving the use or exchange of facilities, equipment, information, expertise, intellectual property rights, or other resources.
