Outline Some real profiles currently being flown or in very mature stages of development Safety how these operations may affect (and indeed be part of) aviation for some parts of their flight/mission profiles Safety how aviation can serve as a best practice for commercial space
Development and operations in the United States
United States activity (as of December 2015 Source : FAA /AST) 279 Licensed (commercial) or Permitted (experimental) Launches 10 Licensed Re-entries 13 Active Launch Licences 10 Active Launch Site Operator Licences 2 Active Experimental Permits 7 Active Safety Approvals
Development in Europe
Development in Air/Space Ports
Mojave, California
Jacksonville, Florida
Safety
Safety How these operations may affect (and indeed be part of) aviation for some parts of their flight/mission profiles As they operate through Air Space For Dual use Air and Space ports For Air Launches For Space-planes
Safety subjects at a glance Airspace / Air Traffic Management Environmental Protection Export Controls / IP Management Flight Crew General Liability/ Insurance Licensing / Authorization Manufacturer / Airworthiness Manufacturer / Airworthiness / Design Medical Meteorology Operations / Launch/ In-Flight Space Debris Space Ports
Safety How Aviation can serve as a best practice for Commercial Space The experience of RPAS (UAVS/Drones) As a new technology and entrant as an airspace user As a vehicle that operates at high altitudes The Safety Management Experience As a risk-based approach to operating safely
Final thought The definition of Safety in Annex 19, if read in a general sense, is, perhaps, not limited to aviation. Indeed it could apply to many other human endeavors, and so is a natural common reference point for both Air and Space operations Safety. The state in which risks are reduced and controlled to an acceptable level.

The suborbital players
The suborbital players
Point-to-Point (P2P)
Spaceports
Need to consider oversight UN: OOSA COPUOS ITU Protozone Plus (non-orbital) > 100 <150/160km?
What Standards?
The IAASS International Association for the Advancement of Space Safety (IAASS) Commercial Human Spaceflight Safety Technical Committee Suborbital Safety Guidance Manual
Acceptable levels of safety Fatal accident rate - 0.1 accident per 1M flights P2P - somewhere here? 1-10 / 1M - acceptable? North Sea Helicopter ops - 2 / 1M Current suborbital vehicles - somewhere here? 100 / 1M flights - acceptable? Space shuttle - 15,000 / 1 M
Acceptable levels from the start Source Nelson, H. (2012). Panel discussion, Technology and its impact on safety, Presentation at the 18th Airbus Flight Safety Conference, Berlin, Germany.
Summary Spaceplanes will be flying through your airspace soon Spaceflight is risky Hypersonic P2P aircraft should be certified vehicles Appropriate changes to standards and new guidance material will be required
