The Federal Aviation Administration has added two new companies to its Space Data Integrator tool, or SDI, which provides improved situational awareness and helps the FAA safely and efficiently manage air traffic during space operations.
The agency can now track Virgin Galactic and Sierra Space vehicles in near-real time during their launch and reentry operations. The companies will transmit vehicle telemetry data - such as position, altitude, and speed - to the SDI tool, which helps to increase safety for all airspace users.
