Event details

The rapid growth of commercial space activity, including frequent launches and suborbital tourism, requires ANSPs, regulators, and industry to collaborate in modernizing global airspace management. This panel provides a unique platform to align industry efforts, discuss practical solutions, and drive international cooperation on commercial space integration.
As commercial space operations expand, integrating them into the global airspace system presents new challenges and opportunities. With a rising number of launches, reentries, and space tourism ventures, ANSPs, regulators, and industry leaders must develop strategies for airspace management, safety, coordination with traditional aviation, and regulatory harmonization.
This session will explore the evolving commercial space landscape, key players, and market growth. Airspace integration challenges, including launch/reentry coordination and real-time tracking. Regulatory frameworks and the role of ICAO, FAA, EASA, and other global regulators and cross-industry collaboration between aviation and space sectors for seamless operations
Bringing together key stakeholders from ANSPs, government agencies, commercial space operators, and technology providers, this panel will provide actionable insights into shaping a safe, efficient, and scalable commercial space ecosystem.
