The Commercial Space Federation (CSF) applauds the Administration’s updated National Space Transportation Policy, released August 20, 2026, which adopts several recommendations CSF has long advocated for — including integrating space launch and reentry into air traffic control modernization, designating priority launch-corridor airspace, improving scheduling transparency at federal ranges, identifying new reentry sites, securing spectrum access, and directing NASA to rely on commercial transportation for its planned Moon Base and Mars missions. CSF frames the policy as essential infrastructure for scaling U.S. launch capacity to support national security, a permanent lunar presence, and the broader space economy.
