One Giant LEAP Act

Key Points

• The Department of Transportation must build a new website for companies to apply for space launch licenses. This portal will handle all paperwork and communication in one place instead of using older or slower methods.
• The system will track every step of the process, including when a company starts talking to the government and when a final decision is made. This helps both the government and the companies see exactly where an application is in the pipeline.
• The public will be able to see the status of applications and key dates online. This makes the process more open so people can see how long it takes for the government to approve or deny new rocket launches.
• The goal is to make the licensing process faster and more organized as more private companies start launching rockets into space. The portal must be ready within one year of the bill becoming law.
