2026 Agenda

Space Transportation Operations are no longer an emerging concept; they are an operational reality. With increasing launch and re-entry frequency, expanding spaceport networks, and the introduction of reusable and suborbital systems, space activities are placing sustained and dynamic demands on the global airspace system.
The challenge is no longer if integration will occur, but how to operationalize it safely, efficiently, and at scale.
This panel will move beyond high-level discussion to focus on real-world operational implementation, examining how ANSPs, regulators, operators, and military stakeholders are actively managing space activities today and what must evolve next. It will showcase practical operational experiences and emerging best practices, while exploring how improved data sharing, coordination mechanisms, and digital tools are reducing uncertainty and minimizing airspace impact.
The discussion will highlight the transition from reactive airspace closures toward more predictive, collaborative, and performance-based operations, strengthening collaboration across all stakeholders. It will also identify gaps requiring global harmonization and cross-border coordination, while providing ANSPs and regulators with actionable insights to support the effective and scalable integration of space transportation operations.
