The SFA Texas office is located in the Midland Spaceport Business Park at the Midland International Air & Space Port, the first spaceport co-located with a major commercial airport. The spaceport is an FAA-approved Commercial Space Launch Site, making it ideal for companies producing, testing, and launching satellites.

Standing at the hub of other US spaceports, the Midland Spaceport is innovating and creating opportunities that will be furthered through collaboration with the SFA.”
