SPACEPORT AMERICA UPDATE
|
|
|---|
December 3, 2012 - Spaceport America has been working with NASA to find a suitable location within the spaceport for a new camera as part of its Cameras for Allsky Meteor Surveillance (CAMS) system. NASA maintains CAMS at locations around the country for the purpose of detecting and tracking meteors. CAMS helps scientists better understand the frequency and distinction of meteors. Information obtained from the network has been used reconstruct trajectories that have been instrumental in recovering meteorites. Recent meteorites represent an unparalleled opportunity to sample material from outside the Earth. The ideal location for a camera is in a very dark sky location that has commercial electrical service and high speed internet connectivity. Locations that satisfy all three requirements are relatively rare. Spaceport America is a good candidate, and we look forward to working with NASA on this important research program.
Additionally, the 2000 foot runway extension project is gearing up. The runway contractor, A.S. Horner, has mobilized on site. The Construction Manager for Phase 2, SDV, and the runway independent quality assurance tester, AMEC, has also mobilized. The final punch list for the Virgin Galactic Gateway to Space facility was issued to the contractor. Base Building Standard Completion has been achieved. We are looking forward to Virgin Galactic becoming a tenant in mid-January. The rock landscaping on the berms flanking the entrance to the Gateway building is almost complete.
