ASD Events

The Alliance for Space Development’s March Storm space advocacy event returns to Washington, D.C. March 3-5, 2025.

Mandatory training for advocates will be conducted Monday (March 3rd), followed by meetings with Senate and House offices, on Tuesday and Wednesday. All meetings will take place in the House and Senate office buildings on Capitol Hill. Details will be made available to registered participants.

This year's March Storm objectives are as follows:

Primary Objectives

• Elevate the Office of Space Commerce out of NOAA to become a separate agency or Bureau in the Department of Commerce.

• Elevate the Office of Commercial Space Transportation out of the Federal Aviation Administration so that it reports directly to the Secretary of Transportation

• Help the funding and profile of commercial space stations by delivering letters from Congress to the Administration

​

Secondary Objectives

• Support Space-based Solar Power by including it in the National Defense Authorization Act

• Reintroduction and Passage of the Orbits Act

• Pursue legislation expressing Congress’ support for commercial space development as an organizing goal of U.S. space policy

ASD hosts a weekly call for members and the community focused on space development. The call serves as a forum for information exchange and discussion of space development topics. The call is open to anyone interested in space development topics.
