U.S. President Donald Trump signed a national security memo to raise annual U.S. rocket launch and re-entry approvals to more than 1,000 by 2030. The memo calls for faster reviews of launch sites and environmental assessments, aiming to speed commercial space licensing. The White House framed it as an “America First” replacement for existing space transportation policy. Commerce and the FCC are tasked with securing spectrum, while Transportation is told to set priority airspace corridors and integrate launch traffic into modernised air traffic control.
