Until the last two years, in general, the topic of space rescue hasn't been discussed much, said Jan Osburg, a senior engineer at RAND. There is a gap, he added —"no mandate, especially for in-space rescue." There is consensus in the community of those looking into in-space rescue that there is, indeed, a gap."But there is a need, and something needs to happen," Osburg said."But there has been no agreement on what exactly should happen."While a plan for saving space travelers in trouble remains in limbo land, the idea of something quick, small and simple, such as a study office with a few people, is viewed as a feasible next step to scope out in-space rescue details, Osburg said.
