**description:** Expected Outcome:
Common regulatory practices and guidelines will facilitate access to European spaceports and increase their attractiveness for European launch systems. The action is expected to contribute to the following outcomes:
• Awareness of stakeholders on practices and regulations;
• A comprehensive overview of technical challenges to be addressed in terms of guidelines and best practices;
• An assessment of the paths for the European spaceports regulations, guidelines and best practices to support safe and sustainable launch operations;
• An identification of the benefits for the European space market development, for European sovereignty as well as for international cooperation.
• Standards and guidelines should contribute to ease to launching from various spaceports. 
 Scope:
This coordination and support action will contribute to the expected outcomes by:
• Assessing best practices, standards and guidelines for launch operations from European spaceports, taking into account experiences from worldwide existing spaceports.
• Proposing a set of common regulatory practices and guidelines for European Spaceports and evaluating their impact on the launch operations.
• Involving European stakeholders participating in the development of safety equipment with the aim to strengthen the spaceports interoperability with their technological solutions.
