Summary
Space companies are launching more rockets than ever, leading to increased competition for airspace. The FAA is managing US airspace for record-breaking 92 space missions in 2022, and is working to minimize delays and disruptions. The FAA is collaborating with airlines, space companies, and other stakeholders to ensure that launches do not disrupt air travel. The FAA has implemented several initiatives to improve airspace closure efficiency around launches, and is onboarding new space companies to its Space Data Integrator program.
