With vast development opportunities, a unique FAA-approved spaceflight corridor, and a collaborative spirit, we’re your ideal launchpad for aerospace success.

Key Highlights

The first U.S. spaceport with an FAA-approved spaceflight corridor clear of Military Operations Areas (MOA) or restricted airspace, providing access to a polar trajectory with a high inclination orbit (HIO) ideal for commercial and Department of Defense launch and landing purposes.

FAA Spaceflight Corridor

Home to one of the country's longest and widest runways (13,503 ft x 300 ft), accommodating diverse aerospace operations from launches to heavy cargo.

Massive Runway for Diverse Operations

A thriving center for aerospace testing, R&D, with over 1,000 acres available for expansion and custom facilities.

Aerospace Innovation Hub

Located 1.5 hours from Oklahoma City and the FAA Mike Monroney Aeronautical Center, and just 7 miles from I-40 (Historic Route 66), the spaceport and industrial park offers sites with streets, utilities and high-speed Internet access, near a rail line, for lease and development providing seamless logistics and access to a skilled workforce.

Strategic Location & Infrastructure

Fully operational Air Traffic Control tower, Telemetry & Monitoring (T&M) Room, on-site weather monitoring, and robust safety/rescue services for optimal launch conditions.
