Pad 36 holds hope for jobs
Florida Today
“Hours after being dedicated as a commercial launch site, Launch Complex 36 at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station got its first potential customer.
“PlanetSpace, a consortium of ATK, Lockheed Martin and Boeing, announced Wednesday a proposal to launch a 158-foot solid-fuel rocket by 2011 from the pad at Cape Canaveral, which the Air Force has agreed to lease to Space Florida. The rocket could carry about 2 metric tons of cargo to the International Space Station.
“NASA aims to announce on Dec. 23 whether PlanetSpace, or a competitor, has been chosen to provide the service.”
