Small Aircraft Transportation System (SATS) The SATS project is a five-year proof of concept research effort aimed at developing and evaluating technologies for new operating capabilities that enable the use of the nation's 5,400 underutilized public use landing facilities in near all-weather conditions. These SATS technologies and operating capabilities are enablers for increased mobility within the National Airspace System since they enable better access to air travel for more communities. SATS technologies have the potential to eliminate the need for control towers and ground-based radar at neighborhood airports and enable high-volume operations at these airports, support safe landings at more airports in nearly all weather conditions, and improve single pilot competency. NASA is partnering with other governmental agencies, including the FAA and DoT, to develop air mobility concepts for on-demand, city-to-city transportation. Its research will culminate in integrated technology flight evaluations and demonstrations of the SATS operating capabilities.
