Tools for this tag

The tag aeroway:research= is used to map a rocket range. A rocket range is a site for launching suborbital rockets (within the atmosphere).

How to map

  • Create a closed way around the extent of the rocket range area (often co-incident with a barrier of some kind).
  • For complex boundaries create a relation:multipolygon and add the tags to the relation.

Related features

A rocket range area may contain one or more launch pads, hangars and other features which should be mapped separately:
