The first phase includes developing streets, water, wastewater, electrical, and communications facilities on 90 acres in the southeast part of the Ellington Airport. More than $13.1 million of the funding will go toward preconstruction, design, and construction phase services. The spaceport will host the launching of micro satellites, astronaut training, zero-gravity simulations, and spacecraft manufacturing. Eventually the site will be a launching point for vehicles to reach the International Space Station and commercial supersonic flights.
