This act directs NASA and the Department of Commerce to report to Congress on the merits of establishing an educational institute dedicated to space resources, promoting research and technology development related to the utilization of resources found on celestial bodies like the Moon and Mars.

The Anchor Act seeks to improve the cyber security and telecommunications infrastructure of the U.S. academic research fleet, ensuring that these vessels are protected from cyber attacks and can continue to conduct critical oceanographic research.

The Astro Act aims to streamline the approval process for transporting astronauts to and from Johnson Space Center after their missions, eliminating the need for individual approvals and ensuring quicker access to medical evaluations upon their return from space.

The Ascend Act proposes to make NASA's successful pilot program for procuring commercial satellite data permanent, providing researchers with access to valuable Earth observation data for scientific research and applications like disaster monitoring, agriculture, and environmental management.

This amendment requires NASA to prioritize procuring data from U.S.-based vendors and ensure wider accessibility of procured data for non-NASA users, strengthening the Ascend Act's support for U.S. research and innovation.

This bill aims to allow NASA to receive and merge funds from other federal agencies for joint research and educational programs, streamlining inter-agency collaboration and promoting efficiency in research efforts.

This amendment expands the objectives of the study to include research that maximizes the responsible use of space resources, further emphasizing the importance of environmental stewardship and sustainable practices in space exploration.

This bill aims to clarify the definition of 'malign foreign talent recruitment program' in the Chips and Science Act, addressing concerns from universities and research agencies about ensuring compliance and protecting U.S. taxpayer-funded research from foreign espionage.

This bill aims to invest in research and development for modernizing and strengthening pipeline systems, promoting public-private partnerships, and improving leak detection capabilities for pipelines transporting oil, natural gas, hydrogen, carbon dioxide, and other vital energy resources.

This amendment prioritizes assistance for projects that reduce the environmental impacts of pipelines in underserved and rural communities, reflecting a commitment to addressing environmental concerns and promoting equitable access to clean air and water.

This amendment updates the authorized fiscal years for pipeline research and development activities, ensuring continued support for these efforts in the future, and emphasizes collaboration between NIST and the Department of Transportation on pipeline safety research.

The Impact Act focuses on enhancing the competitiveness of American cement, concrete, and asphalt production by directing the Department of Energy to support research and development of technologies that improve efficiency and reduce greenhouse gas emissions in these industries, crucial for infrastructure, national defense, and economic security.

This amendment clarifies language to ensure a focus on reducing greenhouse gas emissions, allowing for a more flexible approach to technology development and facilitating research on various types of emissions-reducing technologies, not just carbon dioxide.

This amendment aimed to align the Impact Act with a more expansive Senate version, including provisions to encourage investment in low-carbon cement technologies, provide grants for low-emission materials, authorize advanced purchase authority for low-carbon concrete and asphalt, and establish an interagency task force to support workforce development and assess progress in deploying these technologies.
