A U.S. Citizen or an entity organized under the laws of the U.S. or any State must obtain a license to launch or reenter a vehicle inside or outside of the U.S., or to operate a launch or reentry site inside or outside of the U.S. Space Florida has a Launch and Reentry Site Operator License to operate the Shuttle Landing Facility (SLF) as a commercial space launch and reentry site, and Sierra Space must apply for a Vehicle Operator License to conduct reentries at SLF with its Dream Chaser vehicle. The regulatory requirements pertaining to site and vehicle operators are described in 14 CFR Chapter III, Parts 400-460.
