The new facility will serve as the operational home for those missions and help expand opportunities in scientific research, advanced manufacturing, national security and commercial innovation.This project marks a major turning point for the state’s aerospace economy, creating a home for Dawn Aerospace’s reusable, rocket-powered Aurora spaceplane ahead of its planned 2027 operations. Unlike traditional vertical rockets, the Aurora spaceplane operates like a standard aircraft—taking off and landing on conventional runways using rocket propulsion to reach extreme altitudes.Project Highlights• 15,000 Total Sq. Feet: 5,000-sq-foot mission control and operations facility alongside a 10,000-sq-foot hangar.• Advanced Infrastructure: Dedicated mission control, avionics and payload workspaces, a flight simulation office, conference rooms and supporting operational areas.• Timeline: Construction is expected to be completed by fall 2027.This collaboration leverages Oklahoma’s existing aviation infrastructure to provide rapid, lower-cost access to suborbital space in western Oklahoma and marks an important milestone in Oklahoma’s growing space economy and the continued development of Infinity One as a hub for runway-based commercial spaceflight.</div></body>
