What this bill would do

The Space Infrastructure Act directs the Secretary of Homeland Security to designate space systems, services, and technology as a critical infrastructure sector. This designation must occur within 30 days of the act's enactment. The Secretary is also required to issue guidance regarding this new sector within 180 days. This guidance must cover the scope of the sector, the designation of a Sector-Specific Agency, and the identification of relevant committees and advisories. Finally, the Secretary must submit a report to the appropriate congressional committees regarding the implementation of the guidance.
