AI-generated summary, report an errorThis bill would allow NASA, and certain NASA security personnel, to detect, identify, monitor, and track drones that pose a credible threat to designated NASA facilities or assets, including by intercepting the communications used to control the drones without prior consent. NASA would identify its facilities tied to launch, reentry, and protection of space vehicles or payloads, assess their risks with the Federal Aviation Administration, and designate high-risk sites as covered. Records of intercepted communications would generally be kept no more than 180 days, and sharing would be limited to listed purposes such as law enforcement. NASA would give Congress briefings twice a year, and the authority would end on September 30, 2031.
