The Concho Valley's Mission to Space operation kicked off with a state funded feasibility study. The Texas Space Commission grant will identify spaceport sites in our thirteen county region, according to FoxWestTexas.
The grant applications were approved by the Texas Space Commission Board of Directors on Friday. The meeting was livestreamed but no video has been posted. An agenda showed the action item but had no additional information on applicants or the scope of their grant applications.
A confluence of forces are driving economic development in our area include proximity to oil/gas, available renewable energy sources (wind/solar/battery storage) and artificial intelligence's voracious needs for data centers near plentiful energy. With our open land and greater potential for year around launches it appears the space imperative may join the potential bonanza.
