Middle East Space and Satellite Security Alliance Act of 2024

HR 10353, the Middle East Space and Satellite Security Alliance Act of 2024, mandates the U.S. Secretary of Defense (with the Secretary of State) to assess space and satellite security threats in the U.S. Central Command region. The assessment evaluates threats from adversaries like Iran, current efforts to integrate allies (including Israel) into security partnerships, gaps in space situational awareness, and potential multilateral data-sharing agreements. It requires a detailed report to Congress within one year, including recommendations, cost estimates, and metrics for improving collective security. The bill directly affects U.S. allies and partners in the Middle East by aiming to strengthen their protection against space-based threats through better coordination. It is a procedural assessment bill with no new funding or immediate policy changes.
