Abstract

Against the background that all future air traffic participants are requested to act as System Wide Information Management (SWIM) communicating sub-systems by the future Single European Sky Air Traffic Management Research (SESAR) SWIM 'Intranet for ATM' concept, facing the challenge of integration of space traffic in the current Air Traffic Management (ATM) needs SWIM compliance of future commercial space transportation (CST) vehicles having “landing like an aircraft at an airport” characteristics. In order to evaluate future spacecraft cockpit procedures in a transition context from Aircraft Access to SWIM (AAtS) to Spacecraft Access to SWIM in a network wide airspace management environment following the Advanced Flexible Use of Airspace (AFUAS) concept, a realistic flight dynamics model for the SpaceLiner orbiter has been developed. The realized solution is based on the X-Plane flight simulation tool. Landing flare flight test results of a simulated SpaceLiner approach to a northern German airport are presented and discussed.
