The Maryland Mid-Atlantic SATS Lab (MMSL) developed advanced technologies to enable the Small Aircraft Transportation System. SATS was a five-year joint effort between NASA, FAA, the National Consortium for Aviation Mobility (NCAM) and many public and private organizations. MMSL and other labs successfully demonstrated technologies that safely enables increased traffic at many small airports around the country that are not equipped for commercial airliners. Travelers, commuters, and delivery services save time and effort by using general aviation aircraft with SATS technologies to fly into non-towered airports. A highway in the sky allows small personal aircraft to leave the congested land highways below.
