Trump Administration Streamlines Approvals For Commercial Space Licensing
The US Department of Transportation has proposed a new rule to slash environmental requirements for commercial space licensing, aiming to expedite the space race. The initiative, which builds on President Donald Trump’s executive order, streamlines approvals for commercial space operations, rocket launches, and spaceport and reentry sites. According to the proposal, the FAA plans to waive requirements from 13 federal laws for certain commercial space licenses and permits. The move was reported by Unknown Source.
