Secure Space Act of 2025 — S. 1962

TL;DR (AI)

• This bill amends the Secure and Trusted Communications Networks Act of 2019 to prohibit the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) from granting licenses or market access for satellite systems or earth station authorizations to entities that produce or provide covered communications equipment or services, or their affiliates.
• The bill defines key terms related to satellite communications, including 'affiliate,' 'blanket-licensed earth station,' 'gateway station,' and 'individually licensed earth station' to clarify the scope of the prohibition.
• The FCC must issue rules to implement these restrictions within one year of the Act's enactment, and the prohibition applies to licenses, petitions, or authorizations issued on or after the date of enactment.
