policy priorities

New innovations in space technology, including low Earth orbit (LEO) satellites, can directly improve the lives of millions. There is no path to universal broadband access without LEO satellite broadband. But 20th-century red tape and bureaucracy could slow down and stifle these 21st-century breakthroughs.

We need policymakers to continue to update space policy and modernize regulations so that we can finally bridge the digital divide and deploy other exciting advances in space.

Delivering fast, reliable and affordable broadband access to everyone, everywhere

Using every tool in our connectivity toolbox, including LEO satellite broadband, to quickly connect people and places that other technologies have left unserved or underserved, increasing choice for all consumers in the broadband market

Fostering innovation, advancement and sustainable growth in the space economy

UPDATING SPACE POLICY FOR THE 21ST CENTURY

Policymakers must keep building on recent momentum and clear outdated barriers that are hampering space innovation and the deployment of LEO satellites. Opportunities include:

  • Updating regulations to consolidate redundant environmental reviews and range safety inspections that cost engineers valuable time and create delays across the entire launch timeline.
  • Updating legacy Equivalent Power Flux Density (EPFD) regulations that were designed for decades-old geostationary satellite technology and obstruct LEO satellite broadband access for consumers who need it.
  • Continuing to take a position of leadership in the International Telecommunication Union (ITU), positioning the U.S. to influence and shape global space rules rather than being forced to play by the rules of our competitors.
