Ensuring American Space Superiority

This EO sets a comprehensive national space policy focused on returning Americans to the Moon by 2028, establishing a permanent lunar outpost, enhancing missile and space security, growing the commercial space economy, and advancing space technology such as nuclear power for lunar missions. It requires federal agencies to reform acquisition processes, strengthen international partnerships, and implement strategies for space security and spectrum leadership, while prioritizing commercial solutions and efficient operations. The order supersedes prior space policy directives and aligns all federal efforts with these new space exploration, security, and economic priorities.
