NDAA Extends Learning Period and Indemnification for Commercial Spaceflight
The National Defense Authorization Act for fiscal year 2025 extends the commercial spaceflight "learning period" and launch indemnification provisions. The learning period, which limits FAA regulations on commercial human spacecraft, is now extended through 2027, while indemnification for launch damages is extended to September 2028. This move addresses industry concerns over regulatory development and safety practices.
