The program
About the bootcamp
The Space Regulatory Bootcamp is a three-day introduction to the regulatory regimes that govern commercial space activity — how each one works, who administers it, and what it requires.
Regulatory guidance is written one regime at a time. Programs run several of them in parallel, on different timelines, answering to different agencies. The bootcamp covers them the same way: together, with attention to where they overlap and where one affects another.
What it covers
Launch & Reentry
FAA licensing under Part 450: financial responsibility, payload and environmental review, and mishap response.
Export Controls
ITAR and EAR: jurisdiction and classification, deemed exports, and hiring foreign nationals.
Government Contracting
The FAR framework, Other Transaction authority, SBIR, and the cybersecurity obligations that come with a federal contract.
FCC Licensing
Spectrum for commercial satellite communications: Part 25 licensing, ITU coordination, and the FCC’s orbital-debris rules.
Remote Sensing
NOAA licensing under Part 960: the three-tier system, what each tier requires, and foreign-customer rules.
& more
The program covers ground beyond this list.
Agenda
Sessions to be announced
The 2027 agenda is being finalized and will be published here. Until then, past programs show the format, the sessions, and who taught them.
2027 is three days, in Washington, DC, at NEI Headquarters.
Registration
Early rates through 31 October
General admission
$995
ACSP member
$795
Government
$595
Rates increase on 1 November. ACSP membership is $150 a year, so joining saves $50 on a single registration and carries the year of benefits besides.
Credential
Modeled on what the CSRP exam tests
The Commercial Space Regulatory Professional credential covers the same ground as the bootcamp, and registration includes the exam.
60 questions · 70% to pass · valid three years
The CSRP is taken online, on your own schedule. It is a foundational credential: it certifies a working introductory understanding of the U.S. regulatory framework. It is not a practice authorization.
The day after · June 10, 2027
Space Nuclear Launch Seminar
A one-day seminar at the intersection of the space and nuclear sectors, co-hosted with NEI, the day after the bootcamp ends. Bootcamp registrants can add it during registration.
