President Donald J. Trump has signed an executive order to initiate the creation of the U.S. Space Academy, an institution designed to cultivate a specialized workforce for national security, scientific research, and the commercial space sector. The initiative aims to address the rising demand for skilled engineers, service members, and operators as the nation expands its lunar and deep-space exploration goals.
The President stated that the academy is necessary to prepare a new generation for the rapid growth of the U.S. Space Force and the broader space industry. The order establishes a Presidential Commission to oversee the planning process, with NASA Administrator Jared Isaacman appointed as chair and Deputy Administrator Matt Anderson serving as executive director. They will be supported by White House officials Michael Kratsios and Kevin Hassett, who will serve as vice chairs.
Isaacman noted that the academy represents a "transformational step" in preparing the personnel required for upcoming missions, including lunar surface operations and the development of an orbital economy. The commission is required to submit a report to the President within 120 days, outlining recommendations for the academy’s location, legislative needs, and graduate service requirements.
The signing ceremony occurred at NASA’s Johnson Space Center in Houston, where the President also awarded the Congressional Space Medal of Honor to the Artemis II crew. This executive action follows previous directives from the administration, including the Ensuring American Space Superiority order and the National Space Transportation Policy memorandum issued earlier this year.
