HR 5626 United States House · 119th Congress

Taiwan and American Space Assistance Act of 2025

This bill requires NASA and NOAA to establish civilian space cooperation with Taiwan within 90 days of enactment, focusing on satellite programs, weather technology, and personnel exchanges. It mandates that these efforts comply with the Taiwan Relations Act and U.S. export rules while protecting U.S. intellectual property and economic interests. The agencies must submit annual reports to Congress detailing cooperation activities, challenges, and progress for five years after enactment. The bill directly affects U.S. space agencies and Taiwan’s space agency, facilitating non-military space collaboration. It does not alter existing U.S. policy toward Taiwan but creates a formal mechanism for expanded technical engagement.
