Update on our Airspace Letter of Agreement

Hello everyone, I heard back from the 2515 air space manager. As expected she was not able to find any info on the previously submitted letter of agreement. I submitted a new one today, but they responded that they have to escalate it to the entire 2508 air complex. I do not know why, or understand this decision.

I have inquired as to what makes us have to go through these extra steps, since other groups are launching in the same area with the same criteria and did not have to do so. I am hoping that if it something to do with the altitude request, that we can adjust it, or modify any other item that may be causing us the additional organization requirements. I am awaiting that answer (if it comes at all).

As it stands, our paperwork is still in and progressing but the ETA is now greater than 3 weeks until we are able to schedule our own launch days. Until then, we will continue to share launches with the MDARS group.
