The Taiwan and American Space Assistance Act of 2025 directs NASA and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) to expand civilian space cooperation with Taiwan. Within 90 days of the bill's enactment, these agencies—working with the State Department—must begin discussions with Taiwan to identify mutual interests in areas such as satellite programs, space exploration, weather monitoring, personnel exchanges, and commercial space technology. The bill protects U.S. national security by requiring that all cooperation comply with existing laws, export regulations, and safeguards for sensitive information and intellectual property. NASA and NOAA must submit detailed progress reports to Congress within 270 days of enactment and annually for five years thereafter, describing activities conducted, challenges encountered, and efforts undertaken to advance this partnership.
