ABOUT THE OKLAHOMA AIR & SPACE PORT

The Oklahoma Space Industry Development Authority (OSIDA) operates the Oklahoma Air & Space Port and Industrial Park which is a 2,700-acre aerospace industrial complex that includes the FAA licensed spaceport and general aviation public use airport featuring:

• A massive 13,503′ x 300′ all weather runway (one of the largest in North America)
• An adjacent 5193′ x 75′ runway
• Main runway has ILS; REILS and PAPls and 1,000′ asphalt overruns at each end
• Manned Air Traffic Control tower
• Aircraft Rescue and Fire Fighting unit (ARFF)
• FBO providing Jet-A fuel and other FBO services, including repairs
• Three large hangars (100,000sf of covered space); and 96 acres of pavement for parking and storage all surrounded by 11+ miles of secure fencing
• An FAA-approved spaceflight corridor providing an uncommon northwest (polar) trajectory ideal for commercial, and Department of Defense launch purposes as it offers the most strategic and efficient way to view, or deploy to, virtually every part of the Earth in under 2 hours as the Earth rotates beneath.
• June 2006, FAA’s Office of Commercial Space Transportation awarded OSIDA a Launch Site License establishing one of the first commercial spaceports and first inland state in the U.S. positioning Oklahoma near the top nationally to attract long-term, high-tech jobs.
• This Spaceport qualifies as a Reusable Launch Vehicle (RLV) launch site for commercial (and Defense) polar orbits and was an alternate landing site for the Space Shuttle.
• As one of only 14 spaceports in the nation, OSIDA designed and operates the first space flight corridor (150 miles long and averaging 45 miles wide) with high­ inclination polar orbit capability for aerospace operations in the National Airspace System clear of military operating areas or restricted airspace.
• OSIDA also manages the adjacent 1,100-acre industrial park which includes roads, utilities, fiber optic network, water/wastewater systems, land and buildings for tease and development, 7 miles of main line rail, 9-hole golf course, restaurant/pub, and medical clinic which all help generate jobs and revenues for the state and local economies as well as currently supporting at least 60 local jobs.
• State CareerTech training and certification school next door at Western Technology Center, part of a 58-campus statewide network for training and workforce development.
• The Air and Space Port will receive $4.25M in federal ARPA funds targeting infrastructure improvements and upgrades to the industrial park’s water system ($1.5M) and wastewater system ($2.5M) and $250,000 to be used toward the proliferation of high-speed Internet capability to the airport and industrial park community.
• In another first, OSIDA received $27.5M in state PREP funding to be used toward airport and airpark improvements and upgrades as well as an air space detect and avoidance technology to enhance the safety and capabilities as an airport, spaceport, and aerospace testing and development center.
