Bill overview
The LAUNCH Act aims to modernize and streamline the regulatory processes for commercial space launch and reentry activities, as well as private remote sensing systems. It requires the FAA to evaluate the impact of current regulations and develop a digital application system. The bill elevates the FAA’s Office of Commercial Space Transportation to a modal administration and establishes a rulemaking committee to gather industry input. Furthermore, it revises the licensing process for remote sensing systems and mandates a GAO report on the Department of Commerce’s regulations in this sector.
