Recent policy developments highlight a growing convergence between government priorities and commercial space capabilities. Congressional action in the FY 2027 NDAA is preserving key satellite programs while pushing the Space Force toward greater reliance on commercial data and services. At the same time, NASA is seeking additional funding to sustain its lunar ambitions and advancing Artemis III with continued dependence on commercial partners. Internationally, China’s push into space-enabled 6G infrastructure underscores the accelerating global competition in next-generation space technologies.

All this and more in this edition of Akin’s Space Law, Regulation and Policy Update.
