Chairman Carr Remarks to Chamber of Commerce Global Aerospace Summit

On September 9, 2025, Federal Communications Commission Chairman Brendan Carr delivered remarks at the US Chamber of Commerce Global Aerospace Summit. In his speech, the Chairman framed satellite deployment as the "Space Race 2.0" and detailed how the FCC is working to create a "friendly regulatory environment" for companies to accelerate space operations. "I am optimistic because I am betting on you. Thanks to America’s innovators and entrepreneurs, the United States is not only winning this Space Race 2.0, we are dominating it. But to borrow a rocket analogy, we are not through Max Q just yet. We need to keep powering on. We need to go all-in on space innovation to make the gap between the U.S. and China so wide that we assure American leadership in this vital growing sector for not just years, but decades to come. I pledge to you that the FCC will do everything in its power to make sure the U.S. sets the pace in the new Space Race."
