  • Michigan Low Earth Orbit Launch Facility (proposal)



    @Pat_Host (Jane's)
    Apparently Michigan wants its own LEO launch facility, according to this agenda for a space conference next week in Traverse City


    Two events sponsored by the Michigan Aerospace Manufacturers Association (MAMA); Sept. 25 and 26,

    The event on the 25th covers commercial space and satellite cyber security. Chrystal A. Morgan of ULA and Mike Carey of Atlas Space Operations are participating.

    Keynote: Lt Gen David A. Deptula, USAF (Ret.)

    The event on the 26th has a round table titled Michigan Low Earth Orbit Launch Facility. Dan Shanahan of Boeing Defense, Space and Security is participating.

    ISTM one site choice could be the former Keweenaw Rocket Range in Michigan's Upper Peninsula, which closed in 1971.
