AIA Commends Congressional Action on NASA Authorization Act

Arlington, Va. - Aerospace Industries Association (AIA) President and CEO Eric Fanning today released a statement in support of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Authorization Act of 2026:

"America's leadership in space depends on clear congressional guidance that enables industry to deliver reliable, competitive, and mission-critical capabilities. The NASA Authorization Act sends that signal, reinforcing national priorities across commercial growth, human exploration, and scientific discovery. By promoting industry competition through launch diversification and bolstering the Artemis program, this legislation helps ensure the United States maintains a resilient and innovative space enterprise. The Aerospace Industries Association appreciates Chairman Cruz, Ranking Member Cantwell, and the Senate Commerce Committee's work to advance this comprehensive legislation, and we support its progress through Congress."
