How is a Space Act Agreement different from a Cooperative Research and Development Agreement?
They are essentially the same. The National Aeronautics and Space Act of 1958 authorizes NASA to work cooperatively with industry. The Technology Innovation Act authorized other government research organizations, which did not have similar provisions in their charters, to use CRADAs. NASA continues to use the Space Act authority because it provides more flexibility than the Innovation Act.
