Abstract

The Space Data Integrator (SDI) Project is the initial step to satisfy the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) strategic initiative to integrate commercial space launch and reentry vehicles into the National Airspace System. The project addresses the needs for greater situational awareness and monitoring, and increased response capability during non-nominal and catastrophic incidents during space operations.

The initial phase of this project leverages current FAA systems, and provide an initial demonstration of capability that will provide for state data from a commercial reentry vehicle to be ingested into a the FAA Traffic Flow Management System, and displayed on Traffic Situation Displays. Space vehicle data will be received at the William J. Hughes Technical Center, and transmitted to the Event Management Center at the Air Traffic Control System Command Center.

The second phase, called the Space Program Integrated Data and Estimated Risk system, will be built upon the initial SDI Demo phase, and deliver a Proof-of-Concept system that will provide added capability and situational awareness displays similar to current systems utilized at the major federal and commercial ranges.
