The Aerospace Industries Association (AIA) represents over 300 companies and nearly 2 million U.S. workers across the aerospace industry. AIA members design, build, launch, and operate satellites and space vehicles across the commercial, civil, and national security space sectors, including support for human spaceflight activities in low Earth orbit (LEO) and, in the coming years, beyond. Maintaining a safe space environment is critical to our members’ – and our nation’s – national security, scientific, commercial, and human spaceflight activities. This is true for activity taking place in LEO, including International Space Station operations, as well as for growing human spaceflight and commercial activity that will operate through LEO and into deep space.
