This Memorandum of Agreement (Agreement) explains the respective roles and responsibilities of the Department of Defense, the Federal Aviation Administration, and the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, in their interactions with launch site operators. Launch site operators may include state government agencies, state-chartered entities, state-sponsored entities and commercial entities. "Spaceport" is a popular term used to describe entities involved in launch site-related activities. Some state government agencies, state-chartered entities, state-sponsored entities and other commercial entities call themselves spaceports. This Agreement applies to current and prospective FAA-licensed launch site operators on, or outside, federal installations. It does not apply to operation of a launch site performed as part of a federal space activity carried out by, or exclusively for, the federal government.
