Law360 has quoted Akin space law & policy senior counsel Dr. Michael Mineiro in its article “Space Force Opportunities Come With Uncertainties For Cos.” The article discusses the recently released U.S. Space Force Commercial Space Strategy, which emphasizes increased reliance on the private sector and presents growth opportunities for the commercial aerospace industry, according to the publication.
Mike said, “[T]he strategy is a good strategy [and] a great first step. However, it must be followed with congressional support through appropriations and executive branch support through budgeting to effect the resources necessary to carry out the strategy.”
Mike noted that U.S. firms may face challenges competing with foreign companies due to varying export controls and regulatory oversight, which could hinder their competitiveness. Mitigating those factors could help “unlock more efficiencies and greater market opportunities in the private sector, outside of the government,” he said.
