OSIDA is currently evaluating the safety and environmental issues associated with operating a commercial launch facility at the CSIA. The function of the spaceport will be to provide a facility to launch manned vehicles, satellites and other payloads into sub-orbital trajectories and eventually into prescribed orbits for commercial and governmental customers. Under this proposed action, the FAA would issue a launch site operator license to OSIDA for the operation of a site to launch, land, and recover reusable launch vehicles (RLVs). Upon issuance of required FAA approvals, OSIDA would open the site to commercial operations. The first sub-orbital flight is proposed for 2006. Launch providers may use vehicles that have been approved in the launch site operator license. Proposed launch vehicles currently include horizontally launched RLVs. These RLVs will also land horizontally.
