KSC Center Planning & Development (CPD)

♦ CPD is KSC’s “Front Door”

♦ CPD engages new business by focusing on:

▪ Master plan for KSC infrastructure, land use, and real estate strategies

▪ Establishment of KSC’s commercial and other partnerships

♦ CPD hands agreement to KSC’s Spaceport Integration (SI) to implement

▪ SI integrates operations across all spaceport partners to ensure safety and reduce operational impacts

Going Leaner and Greener

KSC Center-wide Programmatic EnvironmentalImpact Statement (PEIS)

10

♦ Purpose: To Facilitate KSC’s 20-year transformation from a government and program-focused, single-user launch complex to a more capability-centric and cost-effective multi-user spaceport.

♦ Need: To update KSC’s Center Master Plan in a manner that supports achievement of NASA’s programmatic mission objectives, while also maximizing the provision of excess capabilities and assets in support of non-NASA access to space.

♦ Public Scoping – June 2014

♦ Assessed impacts of future land use changes

PEIS Alternative 1

11

♦ Developed after public scoping in 2014

♦ 2 new seaport land uses removed

♦ Similar to Proposed Action, but differences in siting and size of launch & landing facilities

♦ Adopted as KSC’s FLUM in March 2017

ONLY THREE VIABLE LAUNCH LOCATIONS

Why is it important to our future to deliver “Assured

Space Launch, Range and Combat Capabilities for the Nation”?

“The United States is very dependent upon space and our adversaries know it. We have to anticipate in any future conflict that space will be contested.”

-Honorable Heather A. Wilson, Secretary of the Air Force

“Having worked commercial launch matters multiple times in my career, I have a good appreciation of how dynamic the industry is becoming and the need to evolve how we interact with them to meet our common goals."

-General John Raymond, AFSPC Commander

The future is coming at us fast … and we are doing what we can to shape it and be ready for it.
