>>> The Cedar-8 rocket had nearly hit a British naval cruiser in the Mediterranean.
It seems they had no way to know where these things would land, or if they did, had no way to communicate to state actors of hazard zones ?
I'd love to know more.
>>> "By 1965, I realised that the Lebanese military’s interest had changed from scientific research for peaceful exploration of space, to rockets as an instrument of war.”
Due dilligence applies to all endeavors. Accepting VC money, or accepting government money, it still requires some work.
You generally send out a NOTAM to inform pilots about this sort of thing. I'm unsure if there exists an equivalent mechanism in the international maritime communities to inform ships in the area.
That's if you are an-FAA like entity. But what about a ragtag group of scientists putting objects in the sky, with no access to airport operations or govt sanction ?
No? You can call in as a pilot and issue a NOTAM if you want to. You can phone up the relevant air traffic control center and issue a NOTAM as well. You might do this if you saw something unusual like a plane in controlled air space that was flying in a dangerous manner. Or if you were doing something in uncontrolled airspace that could still be a hazard, so you report it so other's can adjust for it.
As long you're making true reports you're more than welcome to. You should look up the airspace restrictions in the area you will be launching in to ensure you are using unrestricted airspace.
