Space Infrastructure Act

# Space Infrastructure Act Summary **What the Bill Does** The Space Infrastructure Act would officially designate space systems, services, and technology as "critical infrastructure" under federal law. This designation means the government would officially recognize space-related assets as vital to national security and the economy—similar to how electrical grids, water systems, and telecommunications are already protected. The bill requires the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to create guidelines defining what falls under this sector and assign a federal agency to oversee coordination and protection efforts. It would also make space infrastructure eligible for certain national security grants used to protect critical systems. **Who It Affects and Current Status** This bill would primarily affect companies and organizations involved in space technology and services, including satellite operators, launch providers, and space manufacturers.

It could also impact how the government allocates security funding and oversight. The bill is currently in committee and has not yet been voted on by the full House of Representatives. As a relatively new proposal in the 119th Congress, it remains in the early legislative stage.
