    FAA backs ban on using Indian launching services

    FAA backs ban on using Indian launching services
    Credits:
  • The US Department of Transportation's Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) supported the Commercial Space Transportation Advisory Committee's (COMSTAC) proposal to continue to prohibit US satellites from using India's PSLV.

    The FAA agreed that Indian launch services operated by ISRO threatened to "distort the conditions of competition" in the launch-services market.

    It said that India's refusal to sign the Commercial Space Launch Agreement justified the ban.

  • Definition

    What is CSLA?

  • Commercial Space Launch Agreement obliges non-U.S. rocket providers to sign an agreement which sets "U.S. commercial launch prices as the world minimum for government-owned non-U.S. launch providers."
