Enhancing Aerospaceport Licensing and Development: Insights and Recommendations from COMSTAC STOWG

This document outlines the objectives and agendas of COMSTAC's STOWG in relation to aerospaceport licensing and development. It focuses on the critical discussion topics such as the economics of aerospaceports, stakeholder engagement, and strategic investments. Key findings from feasibility studies, particularly in Florida, are presented, along with recommendations for updates to regulations like 14 CFR Part 420. The document serves as a resource for ongoing conversations about the future of commercial space transportation infrastructure.

  1. COMSTACSTOWG CommercialAerospaceports Licensing and Development

  2. Objective • Introduce subject to STOWG as key topic • Regular follow up • Receive feedback • Develop as required • Determine key subject dimensions • Record initial group observations, findings and recommendations • Background • RS&H Cecil Field, Florida Licensing Project • IFG Dade-Collier, Florida Feasibility Study COMSTAC STOWG

  3. Agenda • Suggested development discussion: • Licensing • Economics-Business Case • Stakeholders, Cost-Benefit • Investments - Financing • Private Users: Blue Origin, Virgin Galactic, Xcor • Public Space Transportation Infrastructure Matching (STIM) Grants • Education/Public/Media/PR • Strategies COMSTAC STOWG

  4. Licensing(Regulations, Technologies) • 14 CFRPart 420 • Notice of Proposed Rule Making – Feb 2011 • Revises SeparationDistanceApproaches • Aerospaceports vs TraditionalRangeLaunchSites • CommonRLVPropellants vs Traditional • Point to Point, CONUS vs OCONUS COMSTAC STOWG

  5. Proposed Observation #1 • COMSTAC observes that the Notice of Proposed Rule Making related to 14 CFR Part 420 on February 16, 2011 includes positive changes to Part 420 based on experience gained during the licensing of a number of spaceports. COMSTAC STOWG

  6. Proposed Finding #1 • COMSTAC finds that 14 CFR Part 420 is a better fit for traditional launch sites than aerospace ports. In addition, the rules are a better fit for traditional launch vehicles than the type that typically operate from an aerospace port. COMSTAC STOWG

  7. Proposed Recommendation #1 • COMSTAC recommends that 14 CFR Part 420 Appendix E be updated to include: • Explosive Equivalents for Hybrid Launch Vehicles • Intraline Distances for common energetic liquids COMSTAC STOWG
