It's not steering, it's flight.

Aviation and Aeronautics Issues.

NASA uses ground based telecommunications facilities to provide telemetry, command, and navigation services to a number of NASA, other United States, and international spacecraft such as the Space Shuttle other Earth orbiting spacecraft planetary orbiters and international spacecraft.

Are aerospace objects while in airspace considered as aircraft, and while in outer space as spacecraft, with all the legal consequences that follow therefrom, or does either air law or space law prevail during the flight of an aerospace craft, depending on the destination of such a flight?

These spacecraft include the Space Shuttle and Earth orbiters planetary orbiters such as Galileo and Magellan and the Voyager and Pioneer spacecraft travelling to the outer reaches of our solar system.

The General Provisions also provide that international air traffic services routes above the archipelagic waters to be used by civil aircraft engaged in international air navigation are subject to the approval process of ICAO.

training of pilots and aviation specialists.

(e) Flights for Canadian astronauts (opportunities on the United States space shuttle and preparation of related experiments)

We consider that there should be no distinctions made in the regime applicable to the flight of aerospace objects where the mission performed is a space mission.

Yes, particularly in the case of an aerospace object which is capable of take off and flight as an aircraft, and during its flight in airspace can launch itself into outer space and then operate as a spacecraft.

Followed by that, you see on the West coast planes moving across, the red eye flights to the East coast.

(b) The definition could be accepted if aerospace object was replaced with aerospace vehicle or aerospace craft , and the expression to remain in outer space for a certain period of time was replaced with to travel through airspace

To complete the group, M. Garneau, the first Canadian astronaut in space, was selected for a second space shuttle mission.

Now, flight what does it take to fly?

The flight programme of the four Russian cosmonauts and six American astronauts included joint scientific and technical research and experiments under the Mir Shuttle programme.

Upcoming Shuttle missions will involve Canadian astronauts Julie Payette and Steve MacLean as Mission Specialists and Bjarni Tryggvason and Dave Williams as Payload Specialists.

This is especially the case for aerospace objects that might be used for the transport of persons or cargo via orbital or suborbital flights.

The view was expressed that during flight, aerospace objects might be considered to fall within the scope of international space law or international air law, depending on the purpose of the mission.

(i) Spaceplane

Similar experiments had been made on several space shuttle missions.

Important data had been gathered during several United States Space Shuttle missions, including flights involving Canadian, French and Japanese astronauts.

The FAA, the controlling body above all, calls it a powered lift aircraft.

The following are among the lunar and planetary missions under discussion by ISAS Comet Coma Sample Return Mission Mars Rover Mission and Venus Aerocapture Balloon Mission.

On 6 February 1995, the cosmonauts assisted in completing the main phase of the flight programme of the American craft Discovery, during which it was brought closer to the Mir orbital station.

On that day four Turkish military aircraft, two RF 4 carrying out aerial photography and two F 4, entered the Nicosia flight information region, in violation of international air traffic regulations.

After separation, the carrier aircraft would remain subject to air law, while the aerospace object and crew would enter the jurisdiction of space law for all subsequent stages of the flight until the moment of landing.

Tell me, Lieutenant, have you seen the enemy?

No precedents are believed to exist with respect to the passage of aerospace objects after re entry into the Earth apos s atmosphere in so far as the Space Shuttle might not be regarded as an aerospace object , since it is not strictly capable of motion through airspace.

In the case of passage through the territorial airspace of another State, international air law should be applied to the aerospace object.
