The Civil Aviation Authority of Singapore (CAAS) is Singapore's civil aviation authority and a statutory board under the Ministry of Transport. While its primary focus is on regulating air traffic within Singapore's airspace and developing Singapore into an international aviation hub, CAAS has also ventured into space-related activities. CAAS is involved in proof-of-concept trials for space-based VHF communication between pilots and air traffic controllers, collaborating with organizations like the Office for Space Technology and Industry (OSTIn), SITA, and Startical. CAAS also works with Aireon and MITRE to utilize space-based ADS-B data for air traffic surveillance and research and development.
