Project Description
Support of suborbital reusable launch vehicles (sRLVs) for commercial space transportation requires considerations for safe integration into the national airspace system (NAS)
ADS-B technology is used for surveillance by air traffic control and situational awareness for pilots
Project Outcomes
This research presents the potential for adaptation of existing ADS-B technology to support operations for sRLVs operations exceeding current technology limits (primarily altitude, velocity and acceleration)
