01
Industrial base & supplier readiness
The production capacity, supplier networks, standards, and bottlenecks behind mission-ready space capabilities.
Intelligence · Opportunity · A stronger voice
The signal behind a stronger American space future.
Membership centers on the weekly Space Intelligence Report—a grounded read on government affairs, civilian-space developments, and the policy and opportunity signals that shape your next move.
The weekly member brief
Government affairs and civilian-space intelligence, put in context.
The membership centerpiece
A Space Intelligence Report designed for the work between headlines.
Every week, ASAC brings together government affairs and civilian-space developments with policy, government-contracting, and opportunity signals across the sectors that keep the space economy moving.
Clear sourcing. Useful judgment.
Members can see what is established, what peers are observing, what ASAC believes it means, and what may be next—without blurring those distinctions.
Verified facts
Member-reported observations
ASAC analysis
Clearly labeled forecasts
Focused ASAC readiness efforts
Six seams where the space economy needs to hold.
The report follows the cross-sector infrastructure work that established trade associations may not be structured to cover—from component supply to cislunar operations and the people who make both possible.
02
Cislunar infrastructure & logistics
The systems, services, and movement of people and material that extend operations beyond low Earth orbit.
03
Resilient communications, PNT & autonomy
The assured links, timing, navigation, and autonomous operations that keep the space economy working.
04
Workforce & veteran transition
Veteran transition and job pathways, plus the talent and operational know-how that move skilled people into the sector’s next missions.
05
Space resources & manufacturing
The policies, markets, and enabling technologies shaping in-space production and resource use.
06
Space power & propulsion
The energy and propulsion systems that unlock durable, scalable operations across the space domain.

ASAC Space Resources Program
Build the evidence behind responsible resource readiness.
ASAC convenes members and organizes evidence for the practical work that can enable responsible American space-resource development. We are not a mining operator, and we do not promote speculative asteroid wealth.
Readiness before rhetoric.
Today, commercial mining and proven ore reserves beyond Earth have not yet been demonstrated. The near-term question is how credible standards, technology, infrastructure, and mission demand can support uses in space—not unsupported claims about returning material to Earth.

01 · Evidence & readiness
Expert technical council and readiness index
A member-led forum to track prospecting standards, technology readiness, legal clarity, mission demand, power, communications, robotics and autonomy, and terrestrial test capacity. The readiness index helps make evidence, dependencies, and open questions easier to see.
02 · Test & supply
Appalachian test-and-supply network
Connect mining, energy, automation, and advanced-manufacturing capabilities to relevant terrestrial testing, supply-chain learning, and member-led demonstrations.
03 · Operations talent
Veteran technical-operations pathway
A veteran-focused pathway connecting technical operations experience to robotics, remote operations, communications, logistics, safety, and mission assurance across the developing space-resource ecosystem.
What ASAC follows
The Space Resources Program connects its work to the weekly Space Intelligence Report, including relevant policy developments, government and civilian opportunity signals, and the infrastructure conditions that make member demonstrations and responsible progress more credible.
A complement to the associations already moving the sector forward.
ASAC does not replace established trade associations. It strengthens the cross-sector infrastructure seams—where suppliers, operators, civilian markets, and public policy meet—so more of the space economy is visible, connected, and ready to act.
