Viewing cable 05OTTAWA2934, NASA Deployment of RB-57 aircraft

If you are new to these pages, please read an introduction on the structure of a cable as well as how to discuss them with others. See also the FAQs

Understanding cables
Every cable message consists of three parts:
  • The top box shows each cables unique reference number, when and by whom it originally was sent, and what its initial classification was.
  • The middle box contains the header information that is associated with the cable. It includes information about the receiver(s) as well as a general subject.
  • The bottom box presents the body of the cable. The opening can contain a more specific subject, references to other cables (browse by origin to find them) or additional comment. This is followed by the main contents of the cable: a summary, a collection of specific topics and a comment section.
To understand the justification used for the classification of each cable, please use this WikiSource article as reference.

1. Transit of Canadian airspace and overnight stop in Goose Bay by 
the NASA aircraft enroute to the UK and return, can proceed 
without GoC diplomatic approval (Ref A). The aircraft will not/not 
be collecting data/conducting research in Canadian airspace, the 
Government of Canada therefore does not require diplomatic 
approval. 
 
2. Embassy grants country clearance for NASA personnel (Ref B)
