BOSTON, July 23, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Space policy in low Earth orbit (LEO) will be the focus of a keynote address at the International Space Station Research and Development Conference (ISSRDC) from Jinni Meehan, assistant director for space policy at the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy (OSTP). As the ecosystem in LEO continues to mature, sustained support from the federal government and its agencies will enable valuable research and technology development (R&D) that significantly benefits humanity.
ISSRDC is the only conference dedicated specifically to the scientific and technological advancements made onboard the space station and the impacts on the growing economy in LEO. The conference takes place July 29-August 1 at the Marriott Copley Place in Boston, with this lunchtime keynote slated for Tuesday, July 30.
The White House OSTP provides advice to the President and federal departments and agencies to strengthen and advance American science and technology. The International Space Station (ISS) represents the cornerstone of U.S. research in LEO, and the R&D conducted on the ISS provides value to the American taxpayers and paves the way for further inquiries that will benefit humanity. During her address, Meehan will present the Biden-Harris Administration's strategic objectives and policy insights regarding space-based R&D, emphasizing the importance of advancing scientific knowledge and exploration onboard this space station and future space platforms.
Meehan joined OSTP as the assistant director for space policy in February 2024. Her portfolio includes a range of civil and commercial space topics including space weather, Earth observations, planetary defense, planetary protection, LEO, orbital debris, microgravity, cislunar, space situational awareness, astronautics, aeronautics, and in-space servicing, assembly, and manufacturing. She is on detail from the NOAA National Weather Service (NWS), where she has served as the National Space Weather Program Manager since 2018, providing coordination within NOAA and across the federal government to ensure a space-weather-ready nation. Meehan was responsible for issues related to global, national, regional, and local policy, products, and services that impact the way NWS communicates space weather information to core partners, the space weather enterprise, and the general public.
