Topics

•Introduction

•Project of mutual interest

•Conclusions

Project Goals

•Develop National/EU level certification &regulatory framework to pursue possibility ofroutine sub-orbital flight operations withinItalian National airspace

•Introduce U.S. sub-orbital vehicles withinItalian National Air Space

Methodology

•Develop national capacity with FAA supportusing following approach:

Doctrine, Organization, Training,Material, Leadership and Education,Personnel, Facilities and Policy

Doctrine

•Develop certification & regulatory framework:

–Ad hoc regime then….

–….Aviation-like

•ENAC Long-standing

experience in

aircraft/organisation

certification

Personnel & Expertise

•ITAF knowledge to manage flight tests/trials with a focus onlaunch and re-entry:

•Astronauts from Italian Air Force

•Experimental Test Pilots & Engineers

•Flight surgeons

•ENAC Professionals for certification, licensing and oversight

Existing Facilities

Existing airports easily tailored to sub-orbital requirements and presentedin the fashion of Spaceports

Test Ranges and Flight Test Center to manage experimental aerospacecampaigns

Modelling & Simulation

Operational Test & Evaluation (OT&E)

Aerospace medicine

Center for Italian Aerospace Research (CIRA) for engineering support

Wind and Plasma tunnel

Ground Systems for surveillance and tracking of airspace and near-spacesystems used during sub-orbital flights

Ongoing studies

Simulations developed by ITAF Flight Test Center inorder to redefine the traditional aeronautical layerwith Near-Space flight properties

Possible Scenarios

Operate US Space Transportation Systems from Italy

–Step 1 - Realisation of first Spaceport in Italy,permitting sub-orbital flights with U.S. spacetransportation systems:

•Horizontal take off and landing

•Same take off and landing site

–Step 2 - Realisation of a sub-orbital flight with aPoint-to-Point navigation within two Spaceports:

•Horizontal take off and landing

•Common ballistic descent and landing on aSpaceport

Conclusions

Italy offers the perfect geographic position andclimate for accommodating sub-orbital flights

Introduce United States sub-orbitalvehicles within Italian National Air Space

Benefits for both countries

In accordance with the MoC FAA-ENAC

We need to find the way to do it.
