The order also establishes a White House commission, led by NASA Administrator Jared Isaacman, to develop the academy&#8217;s structure, curriculum, and institution within 120 days. Trump emphasized the importance of training a generation suited for the expanding space industry, including the U.S. Space Force, which he previously helped establish as the sixth branch of the military. During a visit to NASA\u2019s Johnson Space Center, he highlighted the meaning of space military and civil advancements, awarded Congressional Space Medals of Honor to Artemis II crew members for their historic lunar mission, and discussed future ambitions for space development and innovation.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<article class=\"fn-body\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">President <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/donald-trump\/\" data-type=\"post_tag\" data-id=\"4\">Donald Trump<\/a> signed an executive order on Friday establishing the U.S. Space Academy, an institution he says will be the next U.S. <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/military\/\" data-type=\"post_tag\" data-id=\"266\">military<\/a> academy focused on training astronauts, engineers, scientists, and warfighters to lead the country into the future of <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/washingtonexaminer.com\/section\/space\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/washingtonexaminer.com\/section\/space\">space<\/a> exploration and defense.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Trump\u2019s <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.whitehouse.gov\/presidential-actions\/2026\/08\/establishing-the-united-states-space-academy\/\">executive order<\/a> creates a White House commission on the matter with <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/nasa\/\" data-type=\"post_tag\" data-id=\"1396\">NASA<\/a> Administrator Jared Isaacman as the chairman.
