Abstract: The FAA established requirements for human space flight crew and space flight participants as required by the Commercial Space Launch Amendments Act of 2004. This rulemaking established requirements for crew qualifications, training and notification, and training and informed consent requirements for space flight participants. The rulemaking also modified existing financial responsibility requirements to account for space flight participants, crew, and FAA's new authority to issue an experimental permit.
