The U.S. Federal Aviation Administration has unveiled a special permit aimed at helping the reusable suborbital rocket industry grow, while speeding up the development of passenger-carrying spaceships. The "experimental-class" permit rules were unveiled May 26 at an open meeting of the Commercial Space Transportation Advisory Committee at the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Headquarters in Washington. "We're hoping that this allows the reusable launch vehicle developers to build their vehicles and start flying without too much regulatory burden," said Randy Repcheck, Deputy Manager in AST's Systems Engineering and Training Division. He is the team leader on the experimental permit project.
