Frank Wolf Space Security Act

HR 4360, the Frank Wolf Space Security Act, restricts federal funding for space-related collaboration between U.S. agencies and China. It prohibits NASA, the Office of Science and Technology Policy (OSTP), and the National Space Council (NSpC) from using federal funds for any direct cooperation with China or Chinese companies without new legislation. Exceptions allow such activities only if agencies obtain FBI certification confirming no national security risks and no engagement with officials linked to human rights violations, with details submitted to Congress and the FBI 30 days in advance. The bill directly affects U.S. space agencies' ability to conduct joint projects with China, requiring a formal certification process for any permitted collaboration.
