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
They file paperwork with the FAA to launch so the FAA keeps the area clear of commercial flights. They also launch from military bases (the Cape is considered a military base), so airspace over the area is generally restricted anyways.
