NASA should look for new, cheaper ways to fly science instruments quickly, including sharing rides with other payloads. Congress encourages using the Space Station as a platform for this. NASA should also favor smaller systems when it can, to save time and money.

The Administrator must look for creative ways to fly instrument-level payloads, either for an early demonstration or as a co-manifested payload riding along with something else. Congress encourages using the ISS as an accessible platform for this kind of work. NASA should also pursue smaller systems where that's practical and makes sense, to help deal with the cost and schedule problems that come with large flight systems.
