By air-traffic I mean commercial or military flights – how is the air space in general allocated to differentiate between commercial and military purposes? What extra measures are taken to clear the air space during the launch of space missions?
The question is for any space organization including NASA.
In: Technology
During launch the airspace around the launch site (usually Cape Canaveral) is a no-fly zone and all nearby aircraft are informed before the flight or by ATC. As well as this, the area is sometimes patrolled by the Air Force (this was during launches of the Space Shuttle or other manned missions but on unmanned flights there isn’t necessarily a defensive wing on hand).
