Abstract
The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) mission is to pro-vide a safe and efficient National Airspace System (NAS) for us-ers. The capacity of the NAS is increasing with the number of operations thus safety and efficiency must continue to update within the NAS. Currently, the NAS is being used in a segregated approach for integration of operations between NAS users. This segregated integration method is limiting the overall efficiency of the NAS of all users, including aviation and commercial space operations. Using cooperative integration, the FAA Air Traffic Organization (ATO) and Commercial Space Transportation (AST) must collaborate on an agreement to prevent disruption of other NAS operations. The current standards being used in-clude the use of hazard areas, however, the current use is siding with extra caution of safety by using too large of an area, which causes disruption. Developing a compromised hazard area standard that maintains the safety of civil aviation operations while also allowing for these operations to be done efficiently without affecting other NAS stakeholders.
