History
The Council's roots date to 1980 as a group which prepared many of the Reagan Administration Transition Team's space policy papers[1]. The Council was formally created in 1981 by joint action of the American Astronautical Society and the L5 Society to develop a detailed and technically feasible space policy to further the national interest[2].
