An aviation advisory issued by national civil aviation authorities (in the US, the FAA) to alert pilots of conditions affecting flight operations. For rocket launches, NOTAMs designate exclusion airspace around the launch trajectory and downrange recovery corridors. LaunchDetect overlays active NOTAMs on the 3D space map to show range-safety exclusions around active launch operations.
In LaunchDetect
NOTAM was formerly Notice to Airmen. Rocket-launch NOTAMs typically activate 6-24 hours before T-0 and extend through booster recovery.
