Great news from @NASA - National Aeronautics and Space Administration to stick with commercial space stations in LEO and move forward with the procurement this summer. Pressure testing previous assumptions about the commercial LEO economy has made industry stronger and ready to move forward with NASA to maintain U.S. capabilities and leadership in LEO. — CSF President Dave Cavossa

Congratulations to @csf_space member @voyagertech_ on this exciting milestone! The acquisition of @Astrobotic brings together nearly two decades of lunar expertise, accelerating the commercial infrastructure needed to make the Moon America's next operational domain. We can't wait to see Griffin Mission One take flight!

[Voyager Technologies @voyagertech_]

Breaking: Voyager to acquire @Astrobotic, combining lunar landers, surface power, habitats and cislunar operations into one integrated lunar platform. Griffin Mission One, targeting the lunar South Pole NET November 2026, will be Voyager’s first mission to the Moon.

Building on the momentum of a powerful Tuesday, Day Two of the ASCEND Commercial Space Policy Summit — hosted by the @csf_space — raised the bar even further.

CSF assembled an extraordinary roster of executives, engineers, and policymakers for a day of critical conversations that underscored why the commercial space industry is the most consequential sector of our time. Wednesday's programming tackled the defining challenges and opportunities facing U.S. commercial space through seven powerhouse panels — One Small Step: Perfecting Public-Private Partnerships, Pixel Perfect: How Landsat and Commercial Capabilities Are Changing the View, Survive the Night: Building America's Lunar Base, Edge of Tomorrow: Next-Generation National Security Space, Supply Chain Divergence: Balancing Rigor, Agility & New Era Market Dynamics, Competition with China — REDSHIFT Update, and What's Next for Space Policy on Capitol Hill? — alongside a series of compelling fireside chats and a keynote address from Dr. Brian Babin, U.S. Congressman (TX-36) and Chair of the @housescience .

CSF is grateful for every speaker, moderator, and attendee who made ASCEND 2025 an unforgettable success. Until next year!

Last week, @csf_space hosted the ASCEND Commercial Space Policy Summit — and over the next few days, we'll be highlighting the conversations that defined each day of the conference.

Tuesday brought together the leaders and policymakers driving the future of U.S. commercial space — from FAA regulatory briefings to a closing fireside with senior White House officials:

Enabling the Future of Commercial Space — Insights from FAA/AST The Road to 1,000 Launches — What it takes to get there Building the Backbone of the Space Economy — Spaceports, infrastructure & access Asserting U.S. Leadership at WRC-27 — The spectrum fight ahead The Future of Space Stations — Commercializing the cosmos Growing Federal Use of Commercial Remote Sensing Data — Earth observation at scale Space-Based Power & Orbital Data Centers — The next infrastructure frontier View from the White House — Unleashing the U.S. commercial space industry

@CSF is grateful for every speaker, moderator, and attendee who made it possible. The orbital economy is being built in rooms like this.

Only two months after Ignition, @NASA has announced the first Moon Base missions, awards for the first Lunar Terrain Vehicles (LTVs), and awards for delivery of LTVs and Moonfall drones.

We applaud NASA’s speed and embrace of public-private partnerships with the commercial space industry. Congrats CSF Members @blueorigin , @Astrolab_Space, @InterluneSpace, @Axiom_Space , and @FireflySpace.

[Commercial Space Federation @csf_space]

Commercial Space Federation is proud to celebrate two decades of advancing the commercial space industry — and what a way to mark the milestone.

We were truly honored to welcome @NASAAdmin , to our 20th Anniversary celebration. Here's to 20 years of progress, partnership, and pushing the boundaries of what's possible — and to the next 20!

A special thank you to our sponsors @blueorigin and @virgingalactic for making this celebration possible.

[House Science Committee @housescience]

Chairman @RepBrianBabin served as the keynote speaker at the Commercial Space Policy Summit during ASCEND 2026 earlier this week, where he discussed the future of commercial space and the importance of maintaining American leadership in orbit and beyond.

“For the first time in history, space is no longer driven solely by governments. It is powered by American innovation, American industry, and the unmatched ingenuity of the private sector.”

[Commercial Space Federation @csf_space]

CSF congratulates @MattAadastra on his confirmation to serve as Deputy Administrator of @NASA . Deputy Administrator Anderson’s expertise is critical as NASA returns to the Moon and expands commercial partnerships essential to advancing exploration and delivering results for the American people.

🚨The commercial space industry is moving fast. We are watching the emergence of an interconnected economic and industrial ecosystem built around space-enabled infrastructure, data, logistics, communications, security, and advanced manufacturing.
To help explore what this transformation means and where it is headed, CSF is excited to launch: Igniting the Orbital Economy. A new monthly live series examining the forces shaping the future of commercial space.

Each episode will bring together leaders across industry, investment, policy, and innovation to discuss the market, capabilities, policies, and strategic decisions defining the next phase of growth. Episodes are broadcast live on LinkedIn and distributed across major podcast platforms.

🗓️ Mark your calendars and join us on May 28th at 11 am ET for our first episode, Scaling Orbit: Meeting Launch Demand for Future Growth, with @AdrianMangiuca (Rational Futures) and @KKedisOgborn (CSF)

We hope you'll join us as we explore what's next and how you can be part of it.

CSF applauds the Commission’s diligent efforts to root out and review obsolete and inefficient satellite regulations to promote innovation, growth, and competition. The new sharing framework established in the draft order will align the Commission’s NGSO-GSO spectrum sharing rules with its efficient sharing framework for next- generation satellite systems and its spectrum management principles and will serve as a model for similar reform efforts in other countries and at the International Telecommunication Union (ITU).
