Proposed FAA Space Tourist Regulations Released

Human Space Flight Requirements for Crew and Space Flight Participants; Proposed Rule

“SUMMARY: The FAA proposes requirements for human space flight of crew and space flight participants as required by the Commercial Space Launch Amendments Act of 2004. If adopted, this rulemaking would establish requirements for crew qualifications, training, and notification. It would also establish training and informed consent requirements for space flight participants. The rulemaking would also modify existing financial responsibility requirements to account for the FAA’s new authority for space flight participants and crew, and to issue experimental permits.”
