Read MoreVerification Approach for Large, Complex Optical Systems: Lessons from the James Webb Space Telescope
As ever larger and complex optical imaging systems are envisioned, it will become increasingly difficult to perform full-aperture verification of the optical system in the flight configuration as required for the typical “test as you fly” approach. Full aperture testing is challenging due to both the cost and technical feasibility. As segmented apertures grow larger,…
Read MoreProtecting Aircraft in Real-Time from a Launch or Re-entry Failure
The growing frequency of launches and re-entries of space vehicles has increased impact on other users of the National Airspace. Because these activities have a relatively high probability of failure, the FAA closes airspace proactively to mitigate the potential impact of debris resulting from a breakup event. The FAA Office of NextGen and Office of…
Read MoreCooperative National Airspace: Air Traffic Integration and Situational Awareness
An integrated Space and Air Traffic Management System (SATMS) is one of the key initiatives of the FAA. This goal to achieve an aerospace environment in which space and aviation operations are seamless and integrated in a modernized, efficient National Airspace System (NAS) is a cumbersome and sizeable task; it requires full cooperation from airspace…
