Special Temporary Authority application - Explanation
Please explain in the area below why an STA is necessary:
Blue Origin will be testing the Vertical Take-Off and Landing technology of a Remote Operated Aircraft (ROA). Our testing operations will exceed our orignially planned schedule thus requiring this second STA application. As part of the FAA Certificate of Authorization (COA) procedure, the aircraft is required to have a lost-link emergency/abort shut-down procedure. A communication/telemetry link to the aircraft allows for normal and safe operations of the vehicle. However, there will be an independent, non-destructive, commercial off the shelf (COTS), flight termination system (FTS) aboard the aircraft. In the event of a lost communication link, departure from the planned flight path, or a commanded emergency abort, the FTS will shut down the propulsion units (terminate thrust).
