SPACEPORT Act

This bill establishes federal grants to support state and local governments building spaceport infrastructure for civil, national security, and commercial space launches. It sets a 90% federal funding cap for projects (with a national interest waiver option), broadens eligibility to cover all U.S. space transportation needs, and requires agencies to consult on project impacts. The bill mandates a report within two years evaluating U.S. space transportation demand and competitiveness, with updates every four years. It authorizes $10 million annually for these grants, focusing on modernizing infrastructure to support national space capabilities.
