The Oklahoma Spaceport
Ready to Meet Your Needs Today!
The Oklahoma
Spaceport Specializes in horizontal take-off and landing for Reusable
Launch Vehicles (RLVs). The Oklahoma Spaceport received its Launch Site
Operators License from the Federal Aviation Administration's Office of
Commercial Space Transportation (AST) on June 12, 2006, becoming only
the sixth recipient to receive a Launch Site Operators License from AST.
The Oklahoma Spaceport became the first inland spaceport to establish a
flight corridor for space operations in the national airspace system
clear of military operating areas or restricted airspace. This
arrangement means that space vehicles will not need military permission
to operate because the spaceport will have its own airspace.
This information
is published by the FAA, Office of Commercial Space Transportation in
their 2009 U.S. Commercial Space Transportation Developments and
Concepts: Vehicles, Technologies, and Spaceports Report which is
produced annually.
