What Happened
Environmental Assessment Underway for Gulf of America Operations
The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is evaluating Reditus Space’s proposal to conduct reentry, splashdown, and recovery operations of its ENOS-Mk1 capsule in the Gulf of America. The proposal involves up to 12 daytime reentries per year starting in 2026, with the FAA assessing potential environmental impacts. The FAA’s decision on the license application will depend on the outcome of the environmental assessment, as well as the company’s compliance with safety, risk, and financial responsibility requirements. This development was reported in a draft Environmental Assessment published by the FAA.
