Space Florida drives aerospace economic development in Florida and serves as a catalyst for space-related business development, education, spaceport operations, research and development, workforce development, and financing. Their crucial role is to guide and facilitate all organizations that seek assistance and actively engage in developing next generation space industry business in Florida. PlanetSpace, teaming with Lockheed Martin, ATK, and their financial advisor BMO, has submitted their proposal in response to NASA’s COTS Phase 1 RFP to flight demonstrate cargo and crew delivery capability to the International Space Station (ISS).
PlanetSpace is moving ahead with plans to establish an orbital launch facility at Cape Canaveral, Florida, as well as the associated manufacturing, training, R&D, and integration facilities. PlanetSpace’s proposed Florida economic activity could generate approximately 346 jobs annually with a cumulative economic impact to the State of Florida estimated to be $313 million. The launch, training, R&D and manufacturing facilities are to fulfill delivery of PlanetSpace’s commercial launch business plan and will include any potential contractual effort under a Space Act Agreement with NASA for Commercial Orbital Transportation Services (COTS)—Kennedy Space Center, Florida
