Powering the Future of American Space Dominance Act
To advance NASA's use of nuclear propulsion and power systems for deep space exploration, and for other purposes.
HB9193 proposes to enhance NASA's capabilities in deep space exploration by promoting the use of nuclear propulsion and power systems. This means the bill aims to support technologies that could enable more efficient and powerful space travel, potentially opening up new opportunities for scientific discovery and space missions.
The bill would primarily affect NASA and the aerospace industry by providing funding and support for the development and deployment of nuclear propulsion systems. These advancements could lead to more robust and faster space missions, benefiting scientific research and potentially private space exploration efforts as well.
As of the last update on June 8, 2026, HB9193 has just been introduced in the House and referred to the House Committee on Science, Space, and Technology. This means it is in the early stages of the legislative process, where it will need to be reviewed, potentially amended, and voted on by the committee before it can move forward to a full House vote.
