Project Goals
• Develop National/EU level certification & regulatory framework to pursue possibility of routine sub-orbital flight operations within Italian National airspace
• Introduce U.S. sub-orbital vehicles within Italian National Air Space

Methodology• Develop national capacity with FAA support
using following approach:
Doctrine, Organization, Training, Material, Leadership and Education, Personnel, Facilities and Policy
11

Doctrine
• Develop certification & regulatory framework:–Ad hoc regime then….–….Aviation-like
• ENAC Long-standing experience in aircraft/organisation certification

Personnel & Expertise• ITAF knowledge to manage flight tests/trials with a focus on
launch and re-entry:• Astronauts from Italian Air Force• Experimental Test Pilots & Engineers• Flight surgeons• ENAC Professionals for certification, licensing and oversight

Existing Facilities Existing airports easily tailored to sub-orbital requirements and presented
in the fashion of Spaceports Test Ranges and Flight Test Center to manage experimental aerospace
campaigns Modelling & Simulation Operational Test & Evaluation (OT&E) Aerospace medicine
Center for Italian Aerospace Research (CIRA) for engineering support Wind and Plasma tunnel
Ground Systems for surveillance and tracking of airspace and near-space systems used during sub-orbital flights

Possible ScenariosOperate US Space Transportation Systems from Italy
– Step 1 - Realisation of first Spaceport in Italy, permitting sub-orbital flights with U.S. space transportation systems:• Horizontal take off and landing• Same take off and landing site
– Step 2 - Realisation of a sub-orbital flight with a Point-to-Point navigation within two Spaceports:• Horizontal take off and landing• Common ballistic descent and landing on a
Spaceport

Conclusions
Italy offers the perfect geographic position and climate for accommodating sub-orbital flights
Introduce United States sub-orbital vehicles within Italian National Air Space
Benefits for both countries
In accordance with the MoC FAA-ENAC
We need to find the way to do it.
