Quad Space Act

The Quad Space Act (S 1946) is a procedural resolution directing the U.S. Secretary of Defense to initiate discussions with Australia, India, and Japan within 180 days to identify shared priorities in space cooperation. It focuses on three key areas: developing best practices for space activities, enhancing space situational awareness collaboration, and aligning space industrial policies. The bill requires a formal report to Congress within 270 days detailing potential cooperation areas and next steps. It does not create new programs but establishes a framework for U.S. space policy coordination with Quad partners (Australia, India, Japan) to address regional security challenges in the Indo-Pacific.
