As we approach the 100-day mark for the second Trump administration, there is plenty of space policy news. Jared Issacman told the Senate during his confirmation hearing that NASA can pursue parallel moon and Mars missions without a budget increase, while the Maryland congressional delegation has lined up to oppose proposed cuts to NASA's science budget. Across the Atlantic, NATO is considering moving up a planned 2027 review of its space policy due to rapid changes in the space domain.
All this and more in this edition of Akin’s Space Law, Regulation and Policy Update.
