DOT Proposes Changes to Part 450 Licensing Rules
The Department of Transportation has put forward proposed changes to the Part 450 licensing rules that govern commercial launch and reentry in the United States. The proposal is drawing attention across the space industry, where operators have long criticized Part 450 for being slow and burdensome, and stakeholders are expected to weigh in on whether the revisions will streamline approvals for rocket launches.
Why now: Commercial launch operators and space policy watchers are closely tracking any regulatory reform of the licensing regime that affects how quickly companies can fly rockets.
