It is the Sense of Congress that— a safe and efficient national airspace system that successfully supports existing users and integrates new entrants is of the utmost importance; both commercial aviation and space launch and reentry operations are vital to United States global leadership, national security, and economic opportunity; aircraft hazard areas are necessary during space launch and reentry operations to ensure public safety; and the Administrator of Federal Aviation Administration should prioritize the development and deployment of technologies to improve visibility of space launch and reentry operations within Administration computer systems and minimize operational workload to air traffic controllers associated with routing traffic during spaceflight launch and reentry operations.
There is authorized to be appropriated $10,000,000 for each of the fiscal years 2024 through 2028, or until such time as the Administrator determines that the project has reached an operational status, for the Administrator to expedite the development, acquisition, and deployment of technologies or capabilities to aid in space launch and reentry integration, which may include technologies recommended by the Airspace Access Priorities Aviation Rulemaking Committee in 2019, systems to enable the integration of launch and reentry data directly onto air traffic controller displays, and automated systems to enable near real-time planning and dynamic rerouting of commercial aircraft during and following commercial space launch and reentry operations, with the objective of operational readiness not later than December 31, 2026.
