These realtime methods could also determine the risk to particular aircraft of continued on course flight or the required diversion. It may be better to fly through the hazard area than make a turn if that reduces the dwell time in the volume.

Having a real time understanding of the true hazard volume through time would allow aircraft in file or other emergencies to safely re-route through regions of lower risk instead of possibly transiting the worst case.

It may seem given your article backwards to be less conservative, but what is now implemented is a large closure area of assumed equal hazard with time to clear across the entire volume for everything down to a slow falling 1 gram piece of beta cloth.

One of the current challenges is that the FAA has been slow rolling any kind of real time hazard volume generation that could present a more accurate and less conservative closure area as compared to the mission planning closure areas. www.faa.gov/sites/faa.go...

Enjoyed the article. If you want to understand the subject more and what the FAA can actually under regulation require of launch providers you can look in CFR 450. The Advisory Circulars (particularly AC 450.115-1B, www.faa.gov/regulations_... ) give a more legible insight of methods of compliance.

I should note that the FAA has no opinion on the safety of vehicle occupants for space flight, only to the public and property. As crew you assume all risk

As the guy who does the safety analysis for a lot of launch and reentry be glad the FAA AST is around. SpaceX's Texas launch facility being privately owned and only launching their own rockets means they can skip some ground safety, but in the air at least the FAA has its say.

The ones that are sat unpowered in Santa Clara are *48MW projects*. How, exactly, are we going to get the 200, 500 or 1.4GW ones up and running? I don't think this is a regulatory issue!

The original post (someone else on same flight?) seemed to suggest ATC deconfliction as announced by the pilot. Given the lack of controllers they are probably sticking people on routes with higher separation. This seems to be an edge case given the short flight time it probably got deprioritized.
