A report released by the CSIS Defense Industrial Initiatives Group, Health of the U.S. Industrial Base and the Impact of Export Controls, was quoted by Aviation Week, "Commercial Comsats Wanted Off Munitions List."
A blue-ribbon panel on U.S. space industrial policy and export controls in Washington is asking top defense and intelligence officials to help remove commercial communications satellite systems from the State Department's Munitions List.
The Working Group on the Health of the U.S. Space Industrial Base and the Impact of Export Controls, led by the Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS), said such satellites and subsystems that are specifically designed for commercial use should be taken off the list, which is one of two maintained by the U.S. government for export controls.
