The Shift in U.S. Space Policy

The Biden administration's approach to space policy has been characterized as less active compared to the previous administration. During the Trump era, there was a surge of initiatives, including the establishment of the National Space Council, which led to numerous space-oriented developments. In contrast, the Biden administration's year saw no space council meetings and a noticeable lack of pronounced space policy announcements. This period was viewed as a missed opportunity for the current administration, especially with the anticipation of renewed activity and initiatives as new developments are expected to unfold.
