Industrial robotics and advanced manufacturing are foundational to America’s defense industrial base.
Securing domestic production capacity isn’t just an economic priority – it’s a national security imperative.

1,000+ U.S. launches and reentries a year by 2030 is just the foundation.
Under President Trump's space guidance, DIU is scaling space architecture for domain overmatch through launch, re-entry, in-space logistics, and autonomy to secure space superiority.
We are scaling reusable tech, mobile infrastructure, control, advanced propulsion, and autonomous control to ensure U.S. constellations out-maneuver and out-last peer threats at machine speed.

Space nuclear power and propulsion systems are critical to America’s future in space.
The new National Security Science and Technology Strategy recognizes them as a critical and emerging technology. NASA is moving with urgency to advance these capabilities and maintain American leadership in space.
As called for in the 2025 National Security Strategy, the new National Security Science and Technology Strategy provides direction for the S&T enterprise to support and enable America's national security objectives⬇️

New experiments at @Livermore_Lab show how diamond melts under pressure three times greater than the conditions at the Earth’s core. The findings could triple fusion energy gain and reshape models of planetary interiors. livermorelab.info/461gZt6

America's economic and national security depend on a strong critical mineral supply chain.
My EMRTAI Act would fund technologies to recover critical minerals from contaminated sites and waste streams. This bill is a commonsense approach to reduce our reliance on foreign adversaries while turning existing waste into a valuable domestic resource. Watch my remarks in support of the bill below:

The @DeptofWar’s Office of Strategic Capital announced today the National Security Fund Finance (NSFF) program, a new initiative made possible through funding provided by President Trump’s One Big Beautiful Bill Act to strengthen America’s critical minerals supply chain.
By partnering with private capital, the program will help drive investment in critical minerals and materials that are essential to restoring domestic production, strengthening the American industrial base, and addressing critical supply chain vulnerabilities.
The Notice of Funding Opportunity will be released soon. The application link will be posted on the Office of Strategic Capital’s website upon publication at cto.mil/osc/.
T-minus eight days until the launch window begins for our Robotic Servicing of Geosynchronous Satellites payload. 🛰️
Two highly nimble robotic arms made by the @USNRL will travel to geosynchronous orbit via the @northropgrumman Mission Robotic Vehicle.

Designed to deter threats for generations to come, Sentinel modernizes the ground-leg of America’s Nuclear Triad. We’re accelerating progress to field this critical capability starting in the early 2030s.

Critical minerals are the foundation of supply chain security.
Under @POTUS, America is securing the resources that will power the industries of the future.
Today, @forestservice issued the final record of decision for the Hermosa Critical Mineral Project in AZ.
This project strengthens national security & supply chains by boosting domestic production of essential minerals for steel production and large-capacity batteries while supporting @POTUS' goal of increasing mineral independence and bolstering the nation’s energy and economic resilience.

We're working with @NASA and @JHUAPL to safely send Dragonfly to the surface of Titan. Tune in to learn more about this historic mission.
NASA's Dragonfly will explore Titan – a moon with rivers, dunes, and thick atmosphere – unlike anywhere we've ever visited.
Join us July 16 at 2pm ET for a behind-the-scenes look at the mission. Bring your questions & set a reminder here: youtube.com/live/nQeXWoPfUBY

To restore American manufacturing, we have to build a workforce that drives it. A major expansion from @iacmihq will do just that by launching the training programs needed to produce next-generation technology and physical innovation right here at home.

The Roman Space Telescope was packed inside the CHARIOT, placed on the Pegasus barge, and pulled by tug boats approximately 820 nautical miles to @NASAKennedy.
Next, this cosmic titan will be placed on a work platform called the Pantheon for post-shipment inspection. Soon, it will serve as a modern day oracle offering a big-picture view of the universe.

I've come to appreciate boring hotfires. Our BE-7 team recently completed a 2,500 second hotfire test at 10klbf on a development engine, setting the record for the longest-duration turbo pump-fed liquid rocket engine hotfire. This built on some of the most rigorous testing in the history of propulsion, with the previous record set by the RS-25 engine that powered the Space Shuttle. They recorded two 2,017 second tests in 1988. It's not lost on us that we're following a path those engineers blazed, and we're grateful for it. Grab the popcorn and enjoy watching 41 minutes of hotfire goodness.
