  Proposed US service academy The United States Space Academy is a proposed American service academy for space-related operations. It was announced on 28 August 2026 by President Donald Trump, and is slated to act as a training academy for NASA, the U.S. Space Force, and the private spaceflight sector. The proposed academy is planned to not be solely for commissioning officers into the armed services, unlike most other federal service academies. Upon graduation, there will be a multi-year service obligation, however a majority of outgoing students are projected to join the civilian sector, with few slots being allocated for Space Force officer contracts. The proposed Space Academy may be similar in operation to the U.S. Merchant Marine Academy. ## Establishment [edit] [...] ## References [edit] 1. 1 2 Proclamations (2026-08-28).

  Sep 10, 2026 RELEASE26-075 ### NASA Headquarters President Donald Trump presents an executive order establishing the United States Space Academy during an event to award the Congressional Space Medal of Honor to the Artemis II crew as Michael Kratsios, director of the Office of Science and Technology Policy, left; Kevin Hassett, director of the National Economic Council, third from left; and NASA Administrator Jared Isaacman, right, applaud, Friday, Aug. 28, 2026, at NASA’s Johnson Space Center in Houston. Credit: NASA/John Kraus Less than two weeks after an Executive Order was signed to create the first United States Space Academy, NASA-led work is in full swing to make the academy a reality and shape the future of America’s aerospace workforce and leadership. [...] The commission’s 120-day mandate to develop recommendations for President Trump on how to establish the academy and build the technical talent and leadership pipeline needed to support America’s long-term goals in space began when the President signed the Executive Order on Aug. 28. Responses to the RFI will help inform the commission’s path forward to selecting a location for the institution and are due by 6 p.m. EDT on Monday, Oct. 26. An ambitious timeline is outlined in the request, calling for a groundbreaking no later than 2027, temporarily hosting the first 300 students in 2028, and a permanent location in operation by 2031. [...] During the meeting, commission members began working through the structure and priorities of the proposed U.S. Space Academy, including its governance, curriculum, service commitments, partnerships, and implementation. “The location of the U.S. Space Academy is foundational to its success,” said Anderson. “We’re asking states to bring their strongest vision — the infrastructure, the partnerships, and the community that can compete with the elite options this caliber of student will have and match the boundless ambition of our future space leaders.”

  Sec. 3. Duties. (a) The Commission shall advise and assist the President regarding proposals to establish the United States Space Academy (Space Academy), a proposed NASA-led Federal academy dedicated to combining rigorous technical education with leadership development, discipline, and a durable commitment to public service. The Space Academy will develop a professional corps of civically grounded leaders prepared to advance American interests within the space domain. (b) Within 120 days of the date of this order, the Commission shall submit to the President through the APST and the APEP a report proposing key details for the establishment of the Space Academy. The report shall include recommendations regarding: [...] Section 1. Purpose and Policy. Space is a critical domain for American national security, economic growth, scientific discovery, and technological innovation. American superiority in space depends on the strength, skill, and character of those who explore, secure, and build the industries critical to it. To continue to lead the world in space exploration and technology, while securing and defending our national interests in space, the Nation must prepare the next generation of astronauts, scientists, engineers, operators, entrepreneurs, civil servants, and warfighters and ensure that they are capable of advancing American interests in space. Achieving this goal requires us to recruit, train, and retain America’s best and brightest from across the Nation. [...] Therefore, it is my Administration’s policy to strengthen the Nation’s space workforce by expanding opportunities to educate and develop the next generation of leaders across the space domain. Sec. 2. Establishment and Composition of the Presidential Commission on the United States Space Academy. (a) There is hereby established the Presidential Commission on the United States Space Academy (Commission). The Administrator of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) shall serve as Chair of the Commission. The Assistant to the President for Science and Technology (APST) and the Assistant to the President for Economic Policy (APEP) shall serve as Vice Chairs of the Commission. The Deputy Administrator of NASA shall serve as Executive Director.

  ### CNN values your feedback Wonder Theory # Trump’s proposed Space Academy aims to educate a new generation of astronauts and engineers Jackie Wattles President Donald Trump holds a signed executive order to create the US Space Academy at NASA's Johnson Space Center on August 28, as director of the National Economic Council Kevin Hassett and NASA Administrator Jared Isaacman look on. President Donald Trump is proposing the creation of a “United States Space Academy” designed to offer the same type of tuition-free, four-year degree as US military academies. [...] But rather than requiring active-duty military service, graduates of this federally funded university may fulfill their post-graduation obligations by working at NASA or “as a government civilian,” said a senior space agency official familiar with the matter who requested to speak anonymously to freely discuss ongoing work. The school would train the “next generation of astronauts, scientists, engineers, operators, entrepreneurs, civil servants, and warfighters,” according to an August 28 executive order to establish the academy, signed by the president. Details about how this institution would be run and who would be eligible to attend are yet to be determined; the executive order directs a commission — led by NASA Administrator Jared Isaacman — to hash out “key details” by Christmas. [...] The idea, however, appears to be evolving. “This is a NASA-led, civilian — and a very distinct difference here — federal academy, not a service academy,” the senior NASA official, who fervently supports the space academy concept, told CNN. “This is a way to boost and expand opportunities for the greatest, best and brightest in our nation to expand opportunities to serve.” Policymakers and experts reached by CNN to discuss the matter largely said that, in an era when space is becoming increasingly militarized and NASA is planning a moon base, there may be some advantages to creating such an institution.

A total of 485 Guardians have been added to the Space Force since its creation. The Academy boasts seven research centers that provide hands-on space application activities. There are over 180 cadets currently majoring in space-related fields and over 60 minoring in Space Warfighting. Plus, all cadets take a space fundamentals as part of their core classes. We have the facilities and expertise to produce Guardians of tomorrow. [...] The Academy has developed programs to motivate, inform, influence and inspirecadets’ interest in a career related to space.

[...] Skip to the main content United States Air Force Academy Go to home page Supporting our ## Space Mission At the U.S. Air Force Academy we know that space is the ultimate high ground. Space capabilities fuel our way of life and our way of war. Here we are learning space by doing space, in an undergraduate space program unlike any other in the world. We are able to design, build, test and fly operational satellites. No matter the major, space is woven throughout our academic program – recognizing that space power is essential to any future conflict, and that after graduation we will be the ones leading the way into the uncertain environments of tomorrow.
