  • SpaceX: Launch SIte Texas and Mars Crossing

    Now that install official and groundbreaking has occurred....

    Launch Site Texas and Mars Crossing. If that doesn't say it all. During the groundbreaking Musk mentioned that voyages to Mars could be leaving from this facility. It's also very possible their new super-heavy (Mars) launcher could be built in nearby Brownsville, which has a major seaport. Perfect for bathing its stages and the Mars Colonial Transport vehicle to its launch site(s).

    SpaceX makes more moves

    BROWNSVILLE — There is a new subdivision at Boca Chica in Cameron County that is named in reference to the area’s future space connection.

    “Launch Site Texas” is the second subdivision that Elon Musk’s SpaceX has re-platted through Dogleg Park LLC. The first subdivision is called “Mars Crossing.”

    SpaceX plans to launch the Falcon 9 and Falcon Heavy orbital vertical rockets, which also could carry the Dragon capsule, and a variety of smaller, reusable suborbital launch vehicles from Boca Chica, where the world’s first private commercial and vertical launch complex is planned.

    The proposed $100 million launch complex site is 17 miles east-northeast of the Brownsville-South Padre Island International Airport and about 5 miles south of South Padre Island.

    The groundbreaking ceremony was held Monday.

    The new subdivision consists of 49.33 acres of land and is the site of the proposed launch pad. In addition to re-platting the land to provide for prepa-ration and development of the property, Dogleg Park continues to purchase properties at the Boca Chica site, according to public records.

    Dogleg Park LLC has ac-quired seven additional lots, bringing the number of tracts of land that it now owns to 87, equaling more than 100 acres of land.
    A bit out of date, but the red area is Launch Site Texas* and the green properties they have bought (left, Mars Crossing) or the borders of the properties they are using under state and local easements.
