Bridenstine said during a public meeting of the NASA Advisory Council (NAC) at the agency's Ames Research Center in Silicon Valley, California.

The new regulatory and policy committee will be part of the NAC. It will be chaired by Mike Gold, an attorney who's also Vice President for Regulatory, Policy, and Government Contracts at Colorado-based space-tech company Maxar Technologies.
