#SpaceAgenda2025 ✍️ Space Regulatory Reform Is a Wicked Problem Still Worth Tackling Rapid growth in U.S. commercial space has yielded important benefits for civil and national security space capabilities. Continued commercial space growth and innovation depends in large part on further modernization of the policy and regulatory environment that enables and promotes those commercial activities. As a result, presidential administrations and Congress have grappled with reforming the space regulatory regime many times over the last few decades, with some major successes but also many remaining challenges. A clear and predictable regulatory regime can ensure U.S. leadership and safety while also promoting commercial growth and innovation. By contrast, ill-defined, opaque, slow-moving, or overly cumbersome regulations risk hindering the growth of the U.S. commercial space sector during a time when the U.S. government is becoming increasingly reliant on it. In this chapter, authors Brian Weeden and Victoria Woodburn offer several recommendations for the next presidential administration in order to maintain the vibrant, innovative commercial sector that is a key advantage the United States possesses over every other space nation.
