Secure Space Act of 2025

Bill 119 hr 2458, also known as the Secure and Trusted Communications Networks Act of 2019, aims to amend the existing legislation to prevent the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) from granting licenses or market access for certain satellite systems or earth stations if they are controlled by entities that produce or provide covered communications equipment or services.

Specifically, the bill prohibits the FCC from granting licenses or market access for geostationary orbit satellite systems, nongeostationary orbit satellite systems, or earth stations that are held or controlled by entities that produce or provide covered communications equipment or services, or by their affiliates. This restriction is put in place to ensure that the US communication networks remain secure and trusted, without the risk of interference or compromise by entities that may have ulterior motives.

In addition to this main provision, the bill also includes other purposes related to the security and integrity of US communication networks. By implementing these measures, the legislation aims to safeguard the country's communication infrastructure and protect against potential threats posed by entities with questionable intentions.
