Narrative:

Distraction by coordinating additional special use airspace and military operations without the help of a radar associate controller; I overlooked the routing of the CRJ2 that entered my airspace from ZHU headed eastbound at FL330. The routing took the CRJ2 directly into the vps class east atca that was active FL180 to FL350 above vps RAPCON's airspace. Once I realized the CRJ2 was not above the airspace; I called the vps RAPCON mission controller and performed a pointout. At this point the crj was already 5 NM inside the atca.

Title: ZJX Controller described operational deviation when distractions and lack of RADAR Associate Controller contributed to an unauthorized airspace entry.

Narrative: Distraction by coordinating additional Special Use Airspace and military operations without the help of a Radar Associate Controller; I overlooked the routing of the CRJ2 that entered my airspace from ZHU headed eastbound at FL330. The routing took the CRJ2 directly into the VPS Class E ATCA that was active FL180 to FL350 above VPS RAPCON's airspace. Once I realized the CRJ2 was not above the airspace; I called the VPS RAPCON Mission Controller and performed a pointout. At this point the CRJ was already 5 NM inside the ATCA.
