Oklahoma spaceport wins FAA license

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) press release is reproduced below:

FAA ISSUES LICENSE FOR OKLAHOMA SPACEPORT

WASHINGTON, DC – The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) announced today that it has issued its sixth non-federal commercial launch site operator license to the Oklahoma Space Industry Development Authority (OSIDA) to operate a commercial launch site.

The license allows OSIDA to ensure the safe and efficient take-off and landing of suborbital, reusable launch vehicles at the Clinton-Sherman Industrial Airpark, near Burns Flat. Prior to a vehicle launch from the site, individual operators will need to apply for a separate launch license or permit from the FAA. The OSIDA license, issued by the FAA’s Office of Commercial Space Transportation, expires in five years with regularly scheduled FAA safety inspections of the site. Burns Flat is the second inland launch site licensed by the FAA.

Oklahoma joins several other states with commercial launch sites. There are two facilities in California and one each in Florida, Virginia, and Kodiak Island in Alaska.
