The White House has issued a presidential memorandum outlining a national space transportation policy to enhance U.S. capabilities in space. The directive sets a goal of exceeding 1,000 launches and reentries annually by 2030, emphasizing affordable, reliable, and safe space transportation. Key measures include expanding infrastructure for commercial and government use, streamlining permitting processes, and fostering public-private partnerships. Agencies are tasked with developing scheduling criteria, identifying new launch sites, and ensuring spectrum access for space activities. The policy replaces previous guidelines and mandates interagency coordination to maintain U.S. leadership in space. Deadlines for implementing specific actions, including infrastructure reviews and market access updates, are set within 180 days of the memorandum’s issuance.
