Concept Development
- KSC Research and Processing Project Managers realize the need for additional space for future of their programs
- Bionetics/Dynamac prepare proposal for commercial building
- Initial commercial facility concept presented to KSC Center Director
- Florida Space Authority (FSA), formerly Spaceport Florida Authority (SFA), Executive Director offers to build facility for KSC using State of Florida funds
- Opportunity to leverage involvement in ISS (from the beginning of a new space era) for long-term, high-impact, space-related research and development in Florida
- Experiments from around the world flow through the SERPL, allowing university and industry involvement in technologies to create spin-off opportunities for enterprise
- Attracts commercial and international investment for space-related areas requiring close proximity to launch facilities
- Encourages collaboration of NASA, Florida, industry, and academia to foster innovation and promote high tech growth
- Supports KSC as operations plus research and development resource for spaceport technology
- NASA/KSC
- Florida Space Authority
- Florida Space Research Institute
