Federal Aviation Administration (FAA)

About this organisation

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is a US government agency responsible for regulating and overseeing the nation's aviation and space systems. As a key player in the US space governance ecosystem, the FAA plays a critical role in ensuring the safe and secure operation of commercial space activities, including launch and re-entry operations, and the development of space infrastructure. The agency's work has implications for the global space community, as US space policies and regulations often serve as a model for other countries.
