Home to cutting-edge remote launch facilities and fast-access, Federal aerospace industry plays a key role in global communications and defense technology. The state remains committed to expanding its stable, robust aerospace sector through a variety of partnerships and initiatives.
The Pacific Spaceport Complex Alaska (PSCA) on Kodiak Island offers the widest launch azimuth range in the U.S., supporting polar and sun-synchronous, as well as low-inclination orbit, Atlantic Reentry Control Area missions with a growing launch cadence and world-class partnerships with the U.S. Air Force and U.S. government agencies.
Beyond launch infrastructure, Alaska is investing in the development of two hypersonic test ranges to support cutting-edge research, testing, and execution of next generation hypersonic technologies in clean-air conditions. These test facilities, and capital investments in advance materials, are central to the nation's hypersonic strategy.
As demand for aerospace infrastructure expands, Alaska is committed to providing the foundations for continued growth, Fairbanks' Poker Flat Research Range is one of the largest land-based rocket research facilities for deep-science supporting aerospace operations. In addition, Alaska's working satellite network offers new development for small platforms to begin manufacturing and logistics needs across the aerospace supply chain.
