Indo-Pacific Space Partnership Act of 2026

This bill would require the Chief of Space Operations to send Congress a report within one year on whether it is possible and advisable to expand the Multinational Force Operation Olympic Defender, a multinational space operations effort, to include more Indo-Pacific allies such as Japan and South Korea. The report would describe current efforts toward expansion and identify policy changes those countries would need to make before the United States could formally invite them to join. It would also identify funding or policy changes needed and assess how their joining would affect U.S. national security. The report would go to the Armed Services and foreign affairs committees of both the Senate and House.
