摘要: |
The mission of the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Office of Commercial Space Transportation (AST) is to ensure protection of the public, property, and the national security and foreign interests of the United States during commercial launch or reentry activities, and to encourage, facilitate, and promote U.S. commercial space transportation. Safety is AST's top priority. To meet its safety responsibilities, AST undertakes a variety of core business functions to ensure that uninvolved persons are protected from the hazards associated with commercial space launch operations. These functions include making license and experimental permit determinations, conducting inspections of licensed and experimental permit operations, and developing rulemaking products related to commercial launch activities. AST also reviews its processes for ensuring public safety regularly as the commercial space transportation industry evolves. With a focus on the rapid evolution and complexity of new launch vehicles, AST will lead agency efforts to develop new and improved approaches to evaluate and approve safetycritical launch vehicle components and systems. Further, AST will continue to leverage partnerships with other government organizations to enhance the safety of launches occurring from both federal and non-federal launch sites. / Supplementary Notes: See also PB2010-103269 (Report for FY 10). / Availability Note: Product reproduced from digital image.
