House SS&T Markups of Commercial Space Act, November 2023
The House Science, Space, and Technology (SS&T) Committee marked up the Commercial Space Act (H.R. 6131) in November 2023.
The markup began on November 15, but final votes were deferred until November 29. Less than an hour before the November 15 markup, the White House National Space Council released its proposal for how to regulate new types of space activities — often referred to as “mission authorization.”
