Key Features of SPIDER

The Space Data Integrator (SDI) is a demonstration system that will be used to illustrate how current launch and reentry vehicles can be ingested into the National Airspace System (NAS) for the United States Federal Aviation Administration (FAA).   

Situational Awareness
Display

Map with Vehicle Present Position (PP) and Trace

Map with Vehicle Vacuum Instantaneous Impact Point (IIP) Position

Map with Nominal Trajectory Trace

Vehicle Mark Events with Nominal and Actual Times

User Defined Data Input (Aircraft ID, Flight Plan, Etc.)

TFMS Data Generation From Vehicle Telemetry

Range Risk Assessment Tool (RRAT) File Generation

Understanding SPIDER

The Space Program Integrated Display and Estimated Risk (SPIDER) Proof-of-Concept (POC) system is an expansion of the SDI Demo system, but with increased capabilities.   

What Is It

A NAS Integration Tool

SPIDER

  • A demonstration software suite for the National Airspace System (NAS)
  • Allows current launch and reentry vehicles to be ingested into the NAS in real-time
SPIDER FLYER

Who Uses It

Federal Aviation Adminstration

SPIDER

  • The FAA is using it

How Does It Work

Customized software suite

SPIDER

  • SDI/SPIDER ingests vehicle operator flight data in an FAA-defined format.
  • Flight data is processed and converted into a format to emulate an aircraft with an international flight plan.
  • Flight data is ingested into the Traffic Flow Management System (TFMS).
  • Generates a message to be used by the FAA Range Safety Tool for Hazard Area generation.
  • Generates an Enhanced Space Data situational awareness display at the Emergency Management Center (EMC) Air Traffic Control System Command Center (ATCSCC)

Where Is It Used

Federal Aviation Administration

SPIDER

  • Office of the Associate Administrator for Commercial Space Transportation (AST)
  • Air Traffic Organization (ATO)
  • NextGen Office
  • The Western Range (WR)
  • Edwards Air Force Based (EAFB)

What Are the Benefits

NAS Integration Tool

SPIDER

  • Allows FAA to integrate a commercial space launch or reentry vehicle into the NAS
  • Provides adequate response time and data to assess non-nominal events
  • Maintains real-time situational awareness and monitoring of a commercial space launch or reentry vehicle operation
