With the world in a deep recession, the U.S. space program continues to decline. The few U.S. payloads that exist fly on Indian launch vehicles, which have proven to be very reliable. Close ties have formed between the U.S. space centers and the Indian space program with India now taking the lead. Your three choices are:
Wait for increased funding for space projects,
Try sending more payloads to the Indian space program,
Increase the level of pro space media spots.
India's PSLV launch vehicle.
