Goals of a Robust System
• Public Confidence in the System (How)• Open for Growth to International Markets• Confidence in Logistics/Transportation Users• Compatible with Legacy Transportation Systems and
future plans• Interoperability between SPs from Start• Partnerships with Educational Entities for Workforce
Development and Training.• Understand what FAA Looks Like in Future
– SPs Partner with Federal Agencies to Facilitate* and Arbitrate New Policy.
* Facilitate can include seed funding

Areas Being Addressed by Space Ports
• Facility Operations– Operations Planning & Coordination– Infrastructure Planning &
Development– Establishment, Maintenance,
Growth– Host to flight and mission
operations
• Platform Operations (Pre- & Post-Flight)
– Payload Integration And Removal• Inert• Biologic
– Platform Preparation• Unmanned• Manned
– Military• ISR• Transport• UAV• Training
• Flights– Launch & Recovery
• Point A to Point A• Point A to Point B
– Earth transfers• Traditional airspace areas• Near space/sub-orbital airspace
areas• Low Earth Orbital areas
– Impacts• Ground• Traditional airspace areas• Near space/sub-orbital airspace
areas• Low Earth Orbital areas

Space Port Operations
• Rocket Operations– Vertical, Horizontal– Solid, Liquid, Jet, Hybrid– Manned, Unmanned
• High Altitude Balloon Operations
– Vertical, Horizontal– Manned, Unmanned
• Traditional Aircraft Operations– Manned, Unmanned
• Experimentation & Technology Development Operations
– Platforms/Vehicles, Propulsion Systems, Payloads
• Facility Operations
• Community/Area Support Operations
– Military, Civil, Civil Support, Local, International
• Education Operations
• Military/Civilian Airspace Interface (transparency)
5
Space Port Business Interactions
• Community• Customers
– Military– Gov’t– Industrial– Commercial– Amateur
• Air Port Associates• Space Port Associates
– National– International
• Agencies– FAA/DHS
• Certifications should work more like Air Agency Certificates rather than All or nothing certifications. Not everyone will have similar activities or levels of development.
6
Space Port Education Interactions
• Educational Outreach– Characteristics:
• Technology & Principles• Hands On• Certifications (Space Port/Purdue National training Center)• Skill Based With Mentoring• Internships
– Classes of Education:• Grade School• Junior High• High School/Home School• Vocational/Technical• College• Graduate• Public (Space Camps, Workshops, Clubs, Volunteers)

Other Commercial Space Port Usage
• USA based– Space Port Indiana– Kennedy Space Center, Florida– Space Port America, New Mexico– Mid-Atlantic Regional Spaceport
(MARS), Wallops Island, Virginia– Mojave Air and Space Port,
California– Oklahoma Space Industry
Development Authority, Oklahoma– Space Port Florida, Florida– Space Port Sheboygan, Wisconsin– Greater Green River Intergalactic
Spaceport, Wyoming– Hawaii– Kodiak Launch Complex (KLC),
Alaska– Space Port Washington,
Washington– Van Horn, Texas
• International– European Space Agency– RAF Machrihanish, Scotland– Sweden– Holland– Spain– Middle East (Abu Dhabi-based
investor Aabar)– Singapore– United Arab Emirates– Kourou Space Port Launch System,
French Guiana– Mexico, Quintana Roo on the border
with Belize
A Network ff Sorts Has Already Begun But Without Coordination,We Must Start To Correlate Behavior And Processes Immediately
We Need Standardization Of Nomenclature/Designators

Spaceport Concepts
Point A Point B
•Sub-Orbital• A to A• A to B
•Orbital• A to A• A to B
Recovery• At Facility (A, B, etc.)• In Field (Recovery Zone)
Traditional Airspace Limit

Tracking needs
• Air– Entering Locale– Leaving Locale– Direction, Speed, Position (With Accuracy Indications), Orbital
Characteristics, Etc.– Identification & Status– Associated Pre-planned 4D Corridor W/Identifications (If
Applicable)– Drill-down To Coordination Authority Definition And IM/Chat Open,
Etc.
• Ground– Terrain, Topography, Area Designations (4D)– Personnel Presence
• Alerts– Airspace/Corridor Violations
• Predictions, Present– Mode Transitions
10
Situation Awareness Needs
• Weather (4D)– Present, Forecasts
• Time Of Day (With Accuracy)• Other Scheduled Events (4D) (Own And Others)• Schedule Conflicts (4D)• Asset, Resource, And Infrastructure Status & Schedules• Countdowns• Process/Procedures
– Identification– Active Step– Status Of Previous Steps– Forecast For Future Steps
• Failure Forecasts, Mitigations, And Effects• Measurements And Monitoring Status (Geospatially
Referenced)• Coordinating Site Status & Schedules (Inter-site Activities) • Alerts
11
Operations Management
• Operations Visibility And Decision Support– Site Infrastructure Observation & Control
• Modes Driven By Type (Safety & Emergency Response, Security, Customer/Visitor/Guest Processing, Materiel Processing (Shipping, Receiving, Handling), Event Support, Education Support, Business Operations, Etc.)
– Preparation Observation & Control– Launch Observation & Control
• Modes Driven By Type (Horizontal, Vertical, Rocket, Balloon, UAV, Nominal Vs Experimentation, Etc.)
– Mission Observation & Control• Modes Driven By Type (Altitude, Near Space, Sub-orbital, Orbital, Etc.)
– Landing/Recovery Observation & Control• Modes Driven By Type (Horizontal, Vertical, Rocket, Balloon, UAV, Etc.)
– Post Processing Observation & Control– Test Observation & Control
• Modes Driven By Type ( Rocket Engine, Payload, Airframe, Etc.)
• Site Level Operations Coordination• Inter-site Level Operations Coordination• Status Relative To Plans
– Present And Predictive• Spectrum Management• Alerts
12
Scheduling/Planning needs
• General, Repetitive Operations• Pre-, Post-, And During Event Activities & Processes• Training & Evaluations• Experimentation• Specialty Activities• Prioritization Management• Resources
– Personnel– Materiel– Communications & Infrastructure– Coordinations & Authorizations
• Inter-site Coordination
13
Information Access Needs
• Real Time• Recall• Archival• Publication• Subscription• Protection• Assurance• On-site & Remote Observation Management
14
Overall Need
• To Establish and promote a healthy and growth oriented network of interacting commercial Space Ports, there is a compelling need to establish, adapt, and adopt proper interoperability standards at several levels of operation
• FAA and NASA, supported by other US gov’t agencies, can be facilitators in both the domestic and international commercial arenas by promoting, encouraging, and arbitrating these necessary standardization efforts while providing guidance for interoperability with national and international level legacy air and interplanetary space operations.
