Re: How FAA handles sudden debris entering I found this Reuters article:
SpaceX's Starship explodes in flight test, forcing airlines to divert
https://www.reuters.com/technology/s...st-2025-01-16/
I could not find an actual NOTAM but as a general practice
The FAA regularly closes airspace for space launches and reentries, but it can create a "debris response area" to prevent aircraft from entering if the space vehicle experiences an anomaly outside the originally closed zone.
Was new to me: debris response area
Must have been activated on a very short notice. Armed obviously at FAA centers, so very quick reaction once triggered. I wonder how this works at ATC. I am sure the temporary/planned flight restriction zone (TFR) by NOTAM ends before Cuba. Beyond is normally open by default for air traffic and maritime - they cant close everything until Namibia until the ship is in orbit I assume.
