SIA Joins AIA in Raising 'Space as Critical Infrastructure' Concerns

The Satellite Industry Association echoed concerns the Aerospace Industries Association raised about pending activity to designate outer space as one of the nation's critical infrastructures (see 2309280011). In a letter last week to National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan, SIA included AIA language about how such a designation could result in a "resource risk" for federal agencies and the space industry and that it also could grease the path to additional space industry regulation.
