Pacific Spaceport Complex-Alaska Spotlight Handout

The Pacific Spaceport Complex-Alaska (PSCA) on Kodiak Island provides responsive, flexible, and low-cost access to space for small and light-lift vertical rockets and stratospheric balloons. PSCA has been launching rockets since 1998 and was the first FAA-licensed spaceport not co-located on a federal range. One of the pioneering features of PSCA is its economic model. Since 2015, the spaceport has not accepted state or federal funds for operations & maintenance and must operate within earned revenues. As such, PSCA provides unqualified economic benefit to Alaska, stimulates innovation, and keeps the team focused on customer outcomes versus stifling bureaucratic processes. As one of only four orbital vertical rocket launch sites in the United States, PSCA plays a key role in providing resiliency for U.S. access to space. PSCA also enjoys the largest launch azimuth range of any spaceport in the U.S. and can access high-inclination, polar, and sun-synchronous orbits between 59° and 110° inclination.

Programmatic Environmental Assessment for Small Launch Vehicles

The 30th Space Wing is preparing a programmatic environmental assessment for launch sites we're making available to commercial companies serving the small launch market. The scope of this comprehensive assessment is focused on launch vehicles capable of delivering payloads weighing 2,000 kg or less into low earth orbit. The purpose and need for this environmental assessment is to help enable the space sector's desire to transition from large, complex and expensive satellites to small, consumable, and low-cost satellites. Over the next decade, the transition to small and microsatellites is forecasted to significantly increase the demand for dedicated rides on small launch vehicles. With this in mind, the programmatic environmental assessment initiated by the 30th Space Wing includes nine launch sites having a combined capacity of 100 launches per year. Furthermore, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is serving as a cooperating agency to ensure their requirements are fully addressed in the environmental assessment. The end goal is to allow our small launch customers an opportunity to evaluate a variety of different launch sites, select the site that best fits their needs, and to streamline subsequent environmental approvals required for individual launch programs.

Spaceport Camden is licensed and ready for development. In 1965, Thiokol Corporation tested the world’s most powerful rocket engine in preparation for flights to the moon at the Camden County, Georgia site. Camden County was also considered as a possible alternate launch site for the Apollo Missions, a fact that was not declassified until 2005. The site is capable of supporting responsive, flexible, and low-cost access to space for small class vertical orbital and suborbital launch systems. Spaceport Camden could support year-round operations of up to twelve (12) launches per year with launch azimuths ranging between 83-115° from the launch point located at approximately 30.9° north latitude. Specific launch azimuths will depend on the launch vehicle / payload combination and the outcome of the vehicle-specific flight safety analysis. Spaceport Camden does not have existing range infrastructure, but portable range safety systems may be deployed upon request. Operators will be required to utilize Autonomous Flight Safety Systems (AFSS) to limit overhead costs and enhance safety. Flight safety impact limit lines will be required to minimize significant water closure areas and airspace impacts.

The site allows for the development and/or deployments of the following infrastructure:

• Flexible launch complex (“flat pad” or traditional launch pad)
• Vehicle processing and storage facilities
• Payload Processing Facility (PPF) cleanrooms and hypergolic propellants
• Two command and control mission operations centers
• Portable Range Safety and Tracking Systems (RSTS)
• Fiber optics broadband connectivity
• Access roads
• Site security

Mid-Atlantic Regional Spaceport Spotlight Handout

The Virginia Spaceport Authority (VSA), a political subdivision of the Commonwealth of Virginia, owns, operates, and maintains the Mid-Atlantic Regional Spaceport (MARS). MARS is a tenant organization on NASA’s Wallops Flight Facility (WFF), Wallops Island, VA, and is one of four public spaceports in the United States licensed by the FAA for vertical launch to orbit.

A commercial spaceport, MARS provides responsive and assured access for government and commercial customers and the full value chain of services: processing, integration, and launch.

MARS offers a multi-pad lunch complex with three launch pads and a fourth under construction, a Payload Processing Facility; an Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS) airfield; an Integration and Control Facility; the MARS Industrial Complex with an Assembly, Integration, and Testing Facility; the MARS Command Building, and a logistics building. All MARS facilities are maintained and operated by an experienced Virginia Spaceport Authority team, with expertise in cryogenic systems, high-pressure vessels, state of the art command and control systems, hydraulic systems, and high-capacity environmental control systems.

• MARS Launch Pad 0A is designed for liquid fuel rockets. It accommodates small to medium-class rockets and is a multi-customer use launch pad.  
• MARS Launch Pad 0B is designed for solid fuel rockets, but the Virginia Spaceport Authority is adding liquid fuel capability to the pad. It accommodates small to medium-class rockets and is a multi-customer use launch pad. 
• MARS Launch Pad 0C is designed for liquid fuel rockets and handles fuels, oxidizers, and pneumatic supplies. It accommodates small-class rockets. 
• MARS Launch Pad 0D is under construction with a 2025 completion date. It will provide methane and support liquid fuel medium-class rockets.
• The MARS Payload Processing Facility (PPF) provides 21,000 gross square feet of separable processing and fueling space for launch and space vehicles from arrival to encapsulation for any vehicle that can be launched from MARS. One of the newest in the United States, the PPF was built to the ICD-705 Standards to accommodate both highly sensitive and classified payloads in support of science and national security missions. The facilities processing spaces include an 80' tall processing bay and airlock with a 30-ton traveling bridge crane with a 60' hook height, a 40' tall low bay cleanroom and integration room, and multiple side rooms for fuel conditioning, control, and ride share processing. The two separate bays can concurrently support unclassified civil and commercial missions and classified national security payloads and missions.
• The MARS UAS airfield offers multi-domain training, testing, demonstration, and exercise opportunities for government and commercial customers. With direct access to 75 square nautical miles of restricted airspace at a secure federal facility, the airfield consists of a 3,000’ by 75’ runway, a vertical takeoff and landing pad, and a 95’ by 50’ hangar. The hangar contains a ready room, communications suite, and full power. MARS support personnel provide UAS integration and airfield management expertise, giving customers seamless and simplified access to the NASA test range environment.
• The Integration and Control Facility supports small-class vehicle operations. It contains space for horizontal integration of launch vehicles, non-hazardous processing and encapsulation of spacecraft, and control and support staffing space for launch vehicle providers. The facility is located 9 miles from the launch complex.
• The Assembly, Integration, and Testing Facility is located on Virginia Spaceport Authority’s MARS Industrial Complex, located just outside NASA Wallops Flight Facility’s Island gate. It is designed with the ability to offer manufacturing, assembly, integration, and testing capabilities to commercial and government providers launching from MARS. 
• The MARS Command Building, located directly outside of NASA Wallops Flight Facility, is Virginia Spaceport Authority’s central launch operations facility. The building contains an engineering control center and dedicated customer space. The building is 8 miles from the launch complex and is a critical component of all MARS launches.
• The logistics building warehouse is the main office for all MARS logistics operations. The facility has environmentally controlled office space and storage for parts and documentation. The warehouse portion of the facility is a critical component of the organization’s infrastructure with all major hardware for our operational sites stored, shipped, and received at a single location.
