The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) plays a crucial role in the space industry by focusing on security and counterintelligence. While not a space agency or manufacturer, the FBI works to protect U.S. space-related assets and infrastructure from cyberattacks, intellectual property theft, and other threats from foreign intelligence entities. The FBI collaborates with agencies like the Air Force and DHS, sharing threat information and providing guidance to space companies to safeguard critical technologies. They also investigate incidents involving space assets, as demonstrated by their work in recovering the Space Shuttle Columbia.
