New Initiative Aims To Accelerate Commercial Space Growth
The Trump administration has created a new task force to accelerate commercial space growth, with a goal of reaching 10,000 FAA-licensed launches and reentries annually by 2035. The task force, led by Under Secretary Ryan McCormack, will implement the National Space Transportation Policy, which targets faster regulation, more launch infrastructure, and better airspace integration. Companies like Rocket Lab, AST SpaceMobile, SpaceX, and Planet Labs may benefit from the initiative, which aims to increase launch capacity and reduce bottlenecks.
