How high does one have to go in airspace to no longer be considered as part of a specific country's airspace?


The US has not defined any specific altitude limit for our airspace.

Hilariously informative, thank you!


Generally it's the Karman line but there aren't any treaties that specify where flight ends and orbit starts.


Space is different than borders because there is no horizon.


Ah seems like there is some distinction between space and airspace whether an object is in orbit or not.
