After examining traditional aviation and the growth of low-altitude AAM and UAS operations, this featured speaker session turns to commercial space operations that increasingly move through shared airspace during launch and reentry. As these activities become more frequent, the aviation system must manage changing risk models, dynamic airspace constraints, coordination with air traffic management, and the operational impacts on airlines, airports, and other airspace users. The discussion will focus on how commercial space can continue to grow while protecting the safety, predictability, and efficiency of the broader airspace system.
