of note, apparently the Commerce Department is applying the same policy as State. So, while I certainly hope Putin’s aggression is over long before the new Cat XV rule goes into effect 180 days after the rule is published soon, apparently commercial communications satellites will still be prevented from being exported to Russia if they are under Commerce jurisdiction.

My thinking was that fears about transferring useful technology/experience from NASA to potentially dangerous foreigners were about to be heightened, as the Ukrainian situation brings back those pleasant memories of the Cold War, leading to retention of the USML in its present form.

I must congratulate Obama on this. The sanctions are starting to hit home. Keep it up. Rogozin is the one that pockets the $400 million NASA sends him. Who knows what his cut is on ILS.

Based on the draft rules released last summer, most commercial satellites and related components will move off the USML and no longer be under the jurisdiction of ITAR. While it’s possible the current situation could delay the release of the final rule, there’s no sign the overall reform process will be derailed.

This will impact the health of the US space industry.

Unlike his simpering peers he is not in denial about the threat posed by Putin.
