Commercial Space Federation (CSF) Launches Rebrand
Will Reorganize and Plans to Initiate Integrate, Compete, and Unleash Initiative
The Commercial Space Federation (CSF) has announced a rebrand of the organization (previously Commercial Spaceflight Federation) to better recognize the diversification of the Federation’s membership and the dramatic growth of the commercial space industry.
“This rebrand signifies the organization’s diverse membership and commitment to effectively representing the entire commercial space industry.”
Dave Cavossa, CSF
CSF is the D.C.-based trade association for the commercial space industry and serves as the industry’s primary advocate and voice to the U.S. Congress and the Administration. Our mission is to encourage growth and innovation, ensure continued U.S. leadership, and drive investment in the U.S. commercial space industry.
CSF member companies are representative of the entire breadth of the commercial space industrial base. As a result, CSF recently established six new industry councils to focus and target our advocacy efforts in the following sectors:
Launch & Reentry
Commercial Low-Earth Orbit (LEO)
Space Exploration
Spaceports & Infrastructure
Remote Sensing & Analytics
Satellite & Space Situational Awareness (SSA)
“CSF is proud to stand as the voice of the commercial space industry here in Washington, D.C. This rebrand signifies the organization’s diverse membership and commitment to effectively representing the entire commercial space industry. The commercial space sector has already supported and driven success for scientific and national security missions in the U.S. and abroad, and it is more important than ever to drive the continued growth of this critical industry,” said Dave Cavossa, CSF President.
CSF is also launching its Integrate, Compete, and Unleash initiative based on three core principles essential to further the growth and development of the industry:
The U.S. Government must rely to the maximum practicable extent on the domestic commercial space industry, integrating and incentivizing commercial solutions instead of building their own.
The U.S. Government must become a smarter buyer of commercial space solutions, promoting full and open competition and using fixed-price contract vehicles and procurement options appropriately.
The U.S. Government must reduce or eliminate any unnecessary and counterproductive regulations that apply to the commercial space industry, to unleash growth and maintain U.S. leadership.
In addition to establishing these new industry councils, CSF is also launching the Commercial Space Political Action Committee (PAC) to grow the voice, visibility and influence of the industry with Members of Congress that support policies designed to unleash the growth of the commercial space industry.
