Our FAA-licensed horizontal and vertical launch areas are home to a growing community of bold space innovators. Some of the most respected companies in the commercial space industry are permanent tenants: Virgin Galactic, SpaceX, UP Aerospace, EXOS Aerospace, and EnergeticX Pipeline2Space.
Virgin Galactic is part of Sir Richard Branson’s Virgin Group. With our sister companies, The Spaceship Company and Virgin Orbit, we are developing and operating a new generation of space vehicles to open space for everyone.
Our mission, to be the Spaceline for Earth, means we focus on using space for good while delivering an unparalleled customer experience.
We recognise that improving access to space is a fundamentally challenging ambition. We will achieve it only in a spirit of collaboration and with a recognition that we must continually learn and can always improve.
www.virgingalactic.comAs one of the world’s fastest growing providers of launch services, SpaceX has secured over 100 missions to its manifest, representing over $12 billion on contract. These include commercial satellite launches as well as US government missions. SpaceX’s Dragon spacecraft is flying numerous cargo resupply missions to the space station under a series of Commercial Resupply Services contracts. Dragon was designed from the outset to carry humans to space and will soon fly astronauts under NASA’s Commercial Crew Program.
Building on the achievements of Falcon 9 and Falcon Heavy, SpaceX is working on a next generation of fully reusable launch vehicles that will be the most powerful ever built, capable of carrying humans to Mars and other destinations in the solar system.
