Samples of draft language for the technical content of an International Agreement.
A full agreement has not been posted because they are becoming country/partner unique and one is not the same as another. Additionally, the legal language is
constantly changing and NASA does not want proposers to waste time on parts of the agreement that have changed (or worse share with a partner what they think the language is and thus
make it all the more difficult for NASA to change it later).
