The Airfield Operations Office oversees the daily operations, safety, and regulatory compliance of NASA’s airfield at Wallops Flight Facility, including hangars and support facilities. It is responsible for managing both manned aircraft and unmanned aerial system operations, conducting routine safety inspections of the airfield, coordinating infrastructure maintenance, and meeting all associated safety requirements.

The airfield aligns with the Wallops Spaceport vision by supporting commercial customer deliveries for critical hardware in and out of Wallops.
