Space Launch Noise Mitigation Study Act

# Space Launch Noise Mitigation Study Act - Summary **What the Bill Would Do** The Space Launch Noise Mitigation Study Act would direct the federal government to conduct a comprehensive study on noise pollution caused by commercial space launches. If passed, the bill would require research into the effects of launch noise on nearby communities, wildlife, and the environment, as well as explore potential solutions to reduce this noise pollution. **Who It Affects** This bill would primarily affect communities living near commercial spaceports (such as those in California), space companies conducting launches, and federal agencies responsible for environmental protection and space regulation.

The research could also impact future space launch operations and regulations. **Current Status** As of now, the bill remains in committee, meaning it has not yet been debated or voted on by the full House of Representatives. It was introduced by Representative Salud Carbajal (D-CA).
