The Senate Commerce Committee ordered favorably reported the Space Commerce Advisory Committee Act, legislation to establish a 15‑member federal advisory committee that would provide industry and stakeholder input on commercial space activities.

Sponsors — referenced in markup as Senators Gary Peters and Roger Wicker — described the measure as a way to ensure key stakeholders have a seat at the table as commercial space activity expands. The committee ordered S.434 (as amended) to be reported favorably along with other bills.
