7 Federal Aviation Administration COE CST Research Road Mapping Workshop #2 August 16, 2011 Research Questions 7 Airspace Deconfliction between Air/Space traffic. What kind of airspace do we need for the vehicle? Do we need to reserve portions of NAS for rocket traffic? Do we need transition corridors from air to space? Do we need a new class of airspace? How does space transportation interface with NextGen? Spaceport Requirements What are the vehicle specific requirements (fueling, servicing, passengers, etc)? Talk with existing launch sites to determine best practices? Air Traffic Issues What are the navigational requirements? What are the flight planning requirements? How are anomalies resolved? Who do we tell that we’re aborting? Weather and Space Weather Triggered lightning Command and Control What should be command and control element at spaceports? What are the vehicle specific command and control requirements? What is the integrated concept of operations? Who offers these services?
