S. 3404 — Satellite Cybersecurity Act of 2025
What it does
This bill requires the federal government to study and report on how it supports cybersecurity for commercial satellites, and directs the Department of Commerce to create a public online clearinghouse of cybersecurity guidance and tools for satellite operators. It does not create new regulations or designate satellites as critical infrastructure; instead, it consolidates existing federal resources and recommendations into one accessible place for private satellite companies and small businesses to use voluntarily.
Quorum's transparency scan gave Satellite Cybersecurity Act of 2025 a moderate transparency flag.
