Space Florida has secured a Real Property License from the 45th Space Wing in order to operate and maintain the launch complex. Space Florida will be sponsoring a number of Florida-based higher education academic institutions and businesses that will train future aerospace technicians, and conduct research in support of university aerospace programs, as well as research and development activities for potential DoD and NASA programs. These efforts will include processing and launch of the type of small rockets historically launched from LC-47.
