More Route Availability + Tactical Management = More Efficient Airspace Use
Gap allows increased airspace efficiency during launch

Can our ATM systems cope? Integration of commercial space operations into the existing ATM system
Martin Griffin Commercial Space Strategy
Directorate ATM EUROCONTROL
March 2015
Scope of Air Traffic Management
ICAO: The contracting States recognise that every State has complete and exclusive sovereignty over the airspace above its territory. Existing commercial aviation operations up to +/- 20km – UN International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO) Outer Space 100km + UN Office for Outer Space Affairs (OOSA) 80km gap …. who is responsible? Aerospace vehicles have aircraft characteristics – ICAO?
Segregation v Integration
Traditional space operations under State control and segregated. Today space is being commercialised. Segregated airspace sterilizes portions of airspace giving a penalty
to other airspace users. Need for integration into the ATM system and equitable access to
airspace for all. SAFETY is the top concern. Existing Target Levels of Safety for all
airspace users cannot be compromised.
Integration into the ATM system will require updates to our ATC technical systems and changes to operating procedures.
Legal impacts of commercial spaceflight
activity into airspace

Challenges • Diversity’s vehicles projects
and technologies
• Diversity’s legal regime : Air and Space law
• Absence of a delimitation between airspace and outer space

Impacts • Adaptation of the current regulation
• Which International Organisation to regulate this activity ?
• ’s and ’s view : suborbital flight to be considered more like aviation than space activity
• Chicago Convention and ICAO’s Annex adaptation
Suborbital activity’s next event :
ICAO / UNOOSA AeroSPACE Symposium : 18-20 March 2015 – Montreal
