Fox News reports Trump administration plans U.S. Space Academy modeled on West Point, with location still to be determined

A new federal education program intended to feed the U.S. Space Force and the commercial space sector was reported to be created through an executive action on Friday, but an official White House or Federal Register record has not yet been confirmed in available documents.

President Donald Trump’s administration is reportedly creating a new “U.S. Space Academy” intended to train students to enter the U.S. Space Force and support the nation’s growing space industry, according to Fox News, which reported the plan on Friday.

The outlet said the initiative is being established by an executive order and described it as akin to West Point, a federally chartered service academy that commissions graduates for military roles. Fox News also reported that the academy’s location would be determined at a later date.

Apex Times has not yet located a corresponding official action record or a Federal Register entry confirming the executive order as described by Fox News. As of publication, the central claim should therefore be treated as unverified pending official confirmation.

If implemented, the policy would represent a federal effort to formalize the pipeline between secondary education and careers tied to U.S. space operations. Such academies typically affect federal education administration, admissions criteria, and long-term workforce planning for uniformed service needs, as well as coordination with civilian workforce requirements in the broader space economy.

The reported academy concept also raises implementation questions that would ordinarily be addressed in the text of the executive order or subsequent agency actions, including governance, staffing, curriculum alignment with U.S. Space Force needs, and how the academy’s graduates are routed into military service and training pipelines.

Because the reported location is “to be determined,” further public documentation would be expected to clarify site selection criteria, the timeline for enrollment and initial instruction, and which federal facilities, partner institutions, or infrastructure resources might be used during start-up.

The next concrete step for verifying and understanding the proposal is publication of the executive order or a related Federal Register notice, which would provide the controlling legal authority, deadlines, and any direct delegations to the Department of Defense or other agencies for planning and execution.

Why It Matters

  • A confirmed federal academy initiative would have direct effects on U.S. Space Force workforce development and the structure of military-relevant education pathways.
  • If established through executive action, the academy’s legal authority, implementation timeline, and delegated responsibilities would be set by the order and any subsequent Federal Register or agency procedures.
  • The lack of a confirmed official record means implementation details, including admissions and operating plans, cannot yet be treated as settled.
  • Site selection for a new federal education facility can shape local impacts and federal planning, but those details would typically require additional official documentation.
