Drone Flight Tests FAA's Technologies for Spacecraft Re-entry

Quote

High-altitude drone tests new Federal Aviation Administration, FAA, surveillance technologies potential to support commercial spacecraft.

A drone released from a high-altitude balloon carried a payload to evaluate how the equipment could help the FAA detect and track commercial spacecraft entering the National Air Space, NAS, as it descends from space.

Near Space Corporation, NSC, in Tillamook, Oregon, conducted the flight test on Oct. 3 under the first FAA Unmanned Aircraft System (UAS) test site for UAS high-altitude Certificate of Authorization, COA. With that flight, NSC became the first commercial suborbital space company to conduct a flight test under the agency's UAS rules.
