Secure Space Act of 2025

What this bill does

  • The FCC cannot issue satellite licenses or allow foreign satellites to operate in the U.S. if they're from entities deemed security risks.
  • Foreign satellite companies and their affiliates that make risky communications equipment are blocked from U.S. market access.
  • The FCC will enforce this using its existing list of equipment and service providers that pose national security concerns.
