Starfighters Space Expands to Midland, Texas Spaceport

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla., Oct. 7, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Starfighters Space Inc, headquartered at Kennedy Space Center, operating the world's only commercial fleet of aircraft capable of flying at sustained MACH 2+ and able to air-launch payloads at altitude, proudly announced the addition of its second launch facility at the Midland, Texas Spaceport.

Key Highlights:

• Midland, Texas Spaceport to be homebase for Starfighters Hypersonic Testing initiatives
• Starfighter Space Midland extends geographic diversification allowing for continuity of operations

Starfighters' second launch facility at Midland comes from an economic development agreement with the Midland Development Corporation (MDC). This agreement is unique as The Midland International Air & Space Port is the first commercial spaceport to be co-located with an FAA Part 139 commercial airport, which gives the spaceport access to the airport's services and resources.

Starfighters Space CEO Rick Svetkoff said, "At the end of the day, it is the team that makes the mission successful. MDC truly understood the power and resiliency of us securing multiple launch facilities and worked with us in bringing the project to life."

Starfighters Space sees Midland as the anchor of what Svetkoff calls a "Hypersonic Test Corridor." With Starfighters providing a critical airborne testbed for hypersonic research, Midland extends access as far west as Mojave and Vandenberg Space Ports. Key to the partnership, Starfighters Space and MDC are working to secure FAA approval and certification for the corridor initiative.

Svetkoff went on to note, "As a strategic southwestern hub, Midland will enable our aircraft to reach these various military operating areas much quicker and in a more cost-effective manner."

Starfighters will be conducting research and development for commercial and defense industries, as well as providing an alternative facility for StarLaunch, the Company's supersonic space delivery platform now in development with GE Aeronautics. In kind, the Company plans to invest millions in capital assets and equipment for its presence at Midland International Air & Space Port by 2027. As part of this expansion, Starfighters Space plans to create 23 new full-time jobs in Midland by 2033.

"We are honored to welcome Starfighters Space to Midland," said Lourcey Sams, chairman of the MDC board. "Their decision to expand here highlights Midland's growing reputation as a hub for aerospace innovation. We look forward to the positive impact Starfighters Space will have on our community."

Sams went on to say, "The expansion also serves to highlight Midland's increasing prominence in the aerospace sector, reinforcing its position as a leading destination for high-tech industries."
