- Rocket launching
- The areas where spent rocket stages, boosters and fairings are expected to fall after a launch, with the launch window.
- Area bound by
- Introduces a list of positions that are the corners of an area — the polygon the warning applies to.
- Position (degrees and minutes)
- How warnings write positions: degrees, a hyphen, then minutes, with N/S and E/W — 49-40.8N 003-43.8W.
