The Coalition will sponsor a National Summit on CATS in the presidential battleground state of Ohio October 7-8, one month before the election, and will deliver a Declaration for CATS to the next President of the United States. The Ohio State University will host of the Summit. The initial members of the National Coalition for CATS include the Ohio Aerospace Institute, the Space Frontier Foundation, the National Space Society, the California Space Authority, the NewSpace Alliance, the Progress & Freedom Foundation, the Space Studies Institute, the Students for the Exploration and Development of Space (SEDS), the Space Power Association, the Spaceward Foundation, the Space Generation Advisory Council, the Moon Society, the Aerospace Technology Working Group, and the Committee for the Advocacy of Space Exploration. Charles Miller, coordinator of the National Coalition for CATS said, "Cheap and reliable access to space, or CATS, is something that nearly all space organizations can agree is very important to the future of our nation in space. All roads to a hopeful future in space go through cheap access to space." The National Coalition for CATS, working with leading figures across the space community, will collaborate over the next 12 weeks to develop a "National Declaration for Cheap and reliable Access to Space." The CEOs of non-profit and for-profit companies will be invited to sign the Declaration, and will deliver this declaration to the next President of the U.S. after the November election. Michael Heil, president and CEO of the Ohio Aerospace Institute, stated, "The next President of the United States needs to know that Ohio is an aerospace state that cares about growing the aerospace economy, and new high-wage aerospace jobs. Radically lower cost space access will enable rapid growth in existing markets, and create entire new industries. CATS will help create new high-wage jobs in the state of Ohio and for the rest of America."
