Commercial Suborbital Flights - Air Or Space Law?
COMMERCIAL SUBORBITAL FLIGHTS - AIR OR SPACE LAW? Izvorni znanstveni rad UDK 338.48:629.78(4EU:73) 347.82(4EU:73) 347.85(4EU:73) 340.5 Primljeno: 14. svibnja 2021. Iva Savić Nika Petić The concept of commercial suborbital flights cannot be established while we still lack two fundamental things: a definition of suborbital flight, and legal regulation of this phenomenon. When attempting to determine whether air or space law should govern commercial suborbital flights, due to the non-existent delimitation between airspace and outer space, we face several questions that need to be resolved. These questions are considered through both spatialist and functionalist approaches, which are further used to discern whether commercial suborbital flights fall under the scope of air or space law. In this context, in this paper we aim to consider the broader picture, analysing existing regulation and the work of regulatory bodies in the EU and US. In conclusion, we suggest a new sui generis approach to commercial suborbital flights in international law, possibly through the ICAO with the support of UNCOPUOS, and the creation of a separate convention to address commercial suborbital flights as a special category.

The Development of the Spaceliner Concept and Its Latest Progress
4TH CSA-IAA CONFERENCE ON ADVANCED SPACE TECHNOLOGY The Development of the SpaceLiner Concept and its Latest Progress Tobias Schwanekamp, Carola Bauer, Alexander Kopp [email protected] Tel. +49 (0) 421 24420-231, Fax. +49 (0) 421 24420-150 German Aerospace Center (DLR), Institute of Space Systems, Space Launcher System Analysis (SART), 28359 Bremen, Germany A visionary, ultrafast passenger transportation concept, proposed as the SpaceLiner, is developed by the Space Launcher System Analysis department of the German Aerospace Center DLR. Based on rocket propulsion this two stage RLV should be capable to carry about 50 passengers over ultra-long-haul distances within a fractional amount of time needed for common long-distance flights. Since the SpaceLiner has been proposed for the first time in 2005, the concept is subject to an iterative process of development. Several configuration trade-offs have been performed in order to support the definition of the next reference configuration. This paper gives a summary of the main enhancements and the knowledge gained within the preliminary design phase of the SpaceLiner orbiter stage. As the Orbiter volplanes along the major part of the hypersonic trajectory, the glide ratio is the most significant driving parameter to obtain maximum possible ranges. Thus the main focus of the investigations is on the development of an aerodynamic and aerothermodynamic shape design as well as on various system and environmental aspects or rather operating conditions which have an impact on the aerodynamic -

Spaceliner Concept As Catalyst for Advanced Hypersonic Vehicles
7TH EUROPEAN CONFERENCE FOR AERONAUTICS AND SPACE SCIENCES (EUCASS) 2017 SpaceLiner Concept as Catalyst for Advanced Hypersonic Vehicles Research Martin Sippel, Cecilia Valluchi, Leonid Bussler, Alexander Kopp, Nicole Garbers, Sven Stappert, Sven Krummen, Jascha Wilken Space Launcher Systems Analysis (SART), DLR, 28359 Bremen, Germany Since a couple of years the DLR launcher systems analysis division is investigating a visionary and extremely fast passenger transportation concept based on rocket propulsion. The fully reusa- ble concept consists of two vertically launched winged stages in parallel arrangement. In a second role the SpaceLiner concept serves as a reusable TSTO space transportation launcher for which technical details are now available. The SpaceLiner configuration serves as a catalyst for applied research on advanced hypersonic systems and reusable launchers. The paper presents the latest status of the SpaceLiner concept and its key mission and system requirements. At the same time the paper functions as the intro- duction to other papers addressing more detailed SpaceLiner design and research questions.

The Role of Air Transport in the Development of International Tourism
View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE Journal of International Trade, Logistics and Law, Vol. 2, Num. 1, 2016, 1-8 THE ROLE OF AIR TRANSPORT IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF INTERNATIONAL TOURISM Grzegorz Zajac, (PhD) University of Information Technology and Management in Rzeszow, Poland Abstract: There are close links between air transport and international tourism. The latter, in a significant way has an impact on the development and stimulation of changes in aviation and, in particular, this applies to establishing new routes or increasing competition by the emergence of new air carriers. The essence of aviation is manifested in the aviation business travel and learning about the new States. Therefore, a change that has been made in aviation in the second half of the 20th century is a breakthrough. It is about a liberalization of this sector, which has enabled the development of international tourism. There are plenty of benefits for the development of tourism coming from the liberalization of aviation sector. Thanks to competitive prices and continually increasing offer of air connections to various places in the world, demand for tourism is growing trend. Among the factors hampering the development of aviation tourism, the following should be included: maintaining the visa requirement for many countries, the threat of terrorist attacks, a set of factors in the structure of tourism and safety issue. When it comes to Europe, along with the implementation of the common policy of the European Union, the sector of the tourism industry started to develop. Eliminating internal barriers and the gradual implementation of the freedom of movement of persons, services and capital has led to an increase in the demand for tourism in the EU. -
