MSFC personnel are obligated by law to keep all company proprietary information confidential. Company information revealed to MSFC in the process of developing, negotiating, signing, and completing a Space Act Agreement is exempt from FOIA for up to 5 years. This protection is guaranteed by the National Aeronautics and Space Act of 1958 (as amended).
