Public duties for moving comet missions
The Cometary and Oort Missions Authority coordinates moving-target activities, itinerant crews and conditional distant surveys. Its jurisdiction follows a registered human activity and its custody chain rather than a claim to a whole comet or reservoir. Mission addresses need to remain stable as target estimates, vehicles and sponsors change. The authority links material recovery, scientific observation, crew support and the duty to leave a recoverable record for successor missions.

Crew status, mission authority and resource custody
Mobile community delegates and accountable mission custodians participate according to their chartered roles. A recovery permission names the target reference, allowed activity, responsible custodian and conditions requiring a revised plan. A speculative Oort survey is not presented as an established administrative population. Resources & Circular Industry Commission, Science & Discovery Commission and Transport & Navigation Commission retain their specialist findings. The public compact separates recovered material custody from mission governance, so a cargo purchaser cannot acquire authority over crew rights or scientific evidence.
Mobile work, science and recoverable civic records
Civic services include portable records, support for itinerant families, qualification recognition, welfare handoffs and continuity of clinical referrals. Ice-recovery cooperatives publish reserve duties and resource ledgers alongside their commercial contracts. Scientific teams receive an independent route to preserve null results and uncertain target estimates. Public procurement emphasises interoperable instruments, locally maintainable hardware and a successor capable of reading the original record after the sponsor's programme ends.
Changing trajectories and accepted receiving duties
The mission register records trajectory assumptions, confidence, working envelope, refuge arrangements and material custody. A change in target confidence can require a new navigation or recovery finding; it is not hidden as a corrected coordinate. A batch ledger records the separation of emergency reserves and saleable cargo. Crew changes preserve civic and welfare responsibility at the transfer event. Activity near a moving object has a bounded scope, with a pause or withdrawal route that protects people and source evidence.
A case in practice
A mobile cooperative proposes an ice-recovery mission with a university survey team onboard. The authority separates the recovery instrument from the scientific protocol and crew-support compact. Resources & Circular Industry Commission reviews material custody, Science & Discovery Commission reviews observations and Transport & Navigation Commission coordinates transport interfaces. If target uncertainty exceeds the declared working limit, recovery is paused while agreed observation can continue within its own safe scope. The final record states who supports the crew and holds the evidence during the pause.

Districts and local offices
Coordinate short-period comet missions through bounded work, crew welfare and moving custody.
Maintain long-period mission authority through recoverable evidence and explicit long-duration succession.
Protect mobile ice-recovery crews' civic rights while assessing actual trial yield and resource custody.
Prepare conditional Oort survey programmes as speculative missions with bounded authority and maintainable records.
Support deep-reservoir science through reproducible methods and cautious interpretation of sparse evidence.
