The FAA Safety Policy Voice of Non-commercial General Aviation
Creating a Safe Space
The May/June 2023 issue of FAA Safety Briefing magazine explores the FAA’s role in the exciting and rapidly growing world of commercial space. Feature articles take us behind the scenes with the FAA’s Office of Commercial Space Transportation and its critical safety oversight responsibilities. We also take a close look at spaceports and review how the FAA handles both safety and efficiency when it comes to protecting NAS users during launch and reentry operations.
