- W2325910152 abstract "The next generational leap in aviation will come with the integration of affordable commercial suborbital spaceflight. Reusable launch vehicles (RLVs) have critical site requirements to support their flight profiles. Aviation authorities, who plan future development with RLVs in mind, stand to reap the rewards of commercial spaceflight. Creation of a Spaceport Development Plan can serve to identify critical path infrastructure, siting, and facilities needed to support RLV requirements, and streamline the Spaceport licensing process. To date, the authors have completed (or are now completing) designs of orbital and/or suborbital launch sites in Florida, Texas, Virginia, Australia and other locations. The authors have also accomplished a detailed analysis of mission profiles for Suborbital RLVs to support the development of an application for a FAA Launch Site Operators License, including Environmental Assessment for Cecil Field Spaceport in Jacksonville, FL. The paper will outline some of the unique facility requirements of RLV launches, the Spaceport Development Planning process, and illustrate the benefits of having a definitive yet flexible planning document. For many years spaceport development in the United States was controlled exclusively by the Federal Government. In the 1990’s several commercial spaceports were developed to support commercial orbital launches. At that time most of these commercial spaceports were based on a cooperative State-Federal system. They were still located on Federal property, such as the California Spaceport located on Vandenberg Air Force Base. Spaceport development has continued to evolve and is now a mix of approaches. An Aerospaceport, as considered in this paper, is a traditional airport that has also become licensed to support space launch operations. The current generation of Aerospaceports is typically a former military or general aviation airport that has obtained a FAA licensing to operate as a launch site in support of suborbital Reusable Launch Vehicles (RLVs). Aerospaceports are expected to evolve to support a wide range of missions including orbital space access for both passengers and cargo. As of writing this paper there are six commercial spaceports with an active license. Of these spaceports three evolved from Federal ranges and are hybrid State-Federal spaceports, two evolved from traditional airfields and are “Aerospaceports”, and one is an independent spaceport built on a new site from the ground up. The two currently FAA / AST licensed Aerospaceports include Oklahoma Spaceport, licensed to the Oklahoma Space Industry Development Authority, and Mojave Air & Space Port, licensed to The East Kern Airport District. There are several other proposed Aerospaceports in the US. Cecil Field Spaceport in Jacksonville, Florida, is a recent example, for which the authors have provided support during the planning, analysis, and development of the Environmental Assessment and FAA Launch Site Operators License Application. Final approval from the FAA is pending. The possibility exists for many airports around the United States and the world to become Aerospaceports and provide the necessary infrastructure and capabilities to support suborbital launch activities. For an airport or aviation authority that are considering the option of becoming a spaceport the best place to begin is with the creation of a Spaceport Development Plan." @default.
