Frequently asked questions

How long does a space agency have to respond to a public records request?

Under federal FOIA, agencies must respond within 20 business days, though extensions are possible. State laws vary; for example, California requires response within 10 days. This form helps you track deadlines.

Can I request records from private space companies like SpaceX?

No, FOIA applies only to government agencies. However, if a private company holds records on behalf of a government agency, they may be subject to disclosure. This form is for government entities.

What if my request is denied due to national security?

Many space-related records are exempt under FOIA Exemption 1 (classified) or Exemption 3 (statutory exemptions). You can appeal the denial, but some records may remain withheld.
