Abstract:This document includes three presentations which are part of the 2002 Commercial Space Transportation Lecture Series: The Early Years, AST - A Historical Perspective; Approval of Reentry Vehicles; and, Setting Insurance Requirements: Maximum Probable Loss. The Commercial Space Transportation Lecture Series emphasizes the role of the Federal Aviation Administration, office of the Associate Administrator for Commercial Space Transportation (AST), in regulating; licensing; setting insurance requirements; and conducting safety inspections, investigations, and enforcement actions in the commercial space launch industry. Changes in technology, interdependencies of corporate and national cultures, interagency missions, international businesses, and global market places are some of the factors that affect AST's efforts. Such factors influence and often determine the type of work this office performs. These proceedings contain transcripts of lectures that explore those changes. Topics range from AST's history to issues that will require consideration in the future. It is recommended that the information be used to influence the future and to promote AST's mission to ensure protection of the public, property, and the national security and foreign policy interests of the United States during a commercial launch or reentry activity and to encourage, facilitate, and promote U.S. commercial space transportation.
