WASHINGTON, Feb 6., 2025 – The U.S. Chamber of Commerce launched a new Space Leadership Council on Tuesday that will advocate for pro-competition policy and regulations, the Chamber announced on its website.

Brian Huseman, Vice President of Public Policy and Community Engagement at Amazon, will chair the new council. The Chamber’s press release made no reference to Elon Musk, SpaceX or Starlink, the low-Earth orbit satellite internet access service that is expecting competition from Amazon's Project Kuiper.

“I’m excited to chair the Chamber’s Space Leadership Council and advance its mission to drive American innovation, growth, and global leadership in the space sector,” Huseman said in the Chamber’s announcement.
