The mission of the National Space Society’s (NSS) Legal Fellows Program is to provide gifted and highly motivated law students with a national platform to make their voices and ideas heard in respect to the continuing evolution of international and national space law. The NSS Legal Fellows comment on, and provide legal analysis of, NSS policy and position papers, encouraging and facilitating innovation of ideas and strategies. NSS Legal Fellows also have the opportunity to introduce new and original concepts and views supporting—and even hastening—the development of sustainable and successful human communities in space.https://nss.org/nss-legal-fellows-program-accepting-applications/- Presented to the United Nations Committee on the Peaceful Uses of Outer Space (COPUOS) on the use and implementation of Space Based Solar Power- Authored position paper on planetary defense including protecting the earth from cosmic impacts
