CANSO Academy: Future Skies: Operationalising Space Transportation in Shared Airspace

The Future Skies: Operationalising Space Transportation in Shared Airspace webinar, hosted by the CANSO Operations Programme’s Space Operations Workgroup, will explore the operational integration of space transportation into shared airspace, focusing on real world challenges and emerging solutions. The webinar will address airspace deconfliction, safety considerations, and the evolution of future air traffic management (ATM) concepts as space activities continue to expand.

Bringing together stakeholders from across the aviation and space ecosystems, the session will provide practical insight into how space operations are being managed today, highlight proven techniques and best practices, and examine what is needed to safely and efficiently scale integration moving forward.

The webinar will also lay the groundwork for future growth, encouraging collaboration and a shared understanding of how to integrate space operations seamlessly into existing airspace systems.
