It's a piece of cake - you just go out and do a bunch of turns around the
hold waypoint (Earth) and then come back. Kind of a long EFC time,
though.

Ahh, but you do it all inverted.

"Mission Control clears SMS to Canaveral via thrust vectors, Up,
Hold Earth, right turns, expect further clearance in ten days."

That actually brings up an interesting point. Does anyone know what
coordination needs to happen with the FAA? Are they even involved other than
clearing the airspace?

Cancel IFR passing through FL600 on departure and request IFR clearance
prior to descending through FL600 on return. Watch the 250 knot below
10k airspeed restriction.

I sure would like to have a type certificate for a space shuttle!
Their IFR flight plan must be bizarre.

Actually, the SMS does not have a type cert. It's officially
designated a rocket, not an aircraft. I got curious about this many
years ago and called Canaveral and talked with the head of air ops.
Delightful gentleman who graciously explained it during a lengthy
conversation.

There's more details for TTS (Titusville, which is the name for
NASA Shuttle Landing Facility) at

www.airnav.com/airport/KTTS

Then there's Patrick AFB at KXMR.

The IFR flight plan is so you can play nice in the system with
everyone else. Given the Shuttle is the only vehicle in their
system, they don't have to play nice with anybody.

On the return flight, they're probably told:

"... if anyone gets in your airspace, give 'em the finger"
