Space Exploration Technologies Corp. (SpaceX)
Space Exploration Technologies Corp. (SpaceX) plans to construct and operate a private launch site on privately owned property in Cameron County, Texas. The facility will consist of two operational areas: one for the launch site itself (the vertical launch area) and one for remote command and control of the launch activity (the control center area). Proposed facility and infrastructure construction at the vertical launch area would include the following: • Integration and Processing Hangar (Hangar) • Launch pad and stand with its associated flame duct • Water tower • Lightning protection towers (four total) • Retention basin for deluge water • Propellant storage and handling areas • Workshop and office area • Warehouse for parts storage • Roads, parking areas, fencing, security, lighting, and utilities The approximate 56.5-acre vertical launch area is located approximately 5 miles south of Port Xxxxxx and South Padre Island, approximately 18 miles east of Brownsville, and approximately 3 miles north of the U.S./Mexico border on the Gulf Coast of Texas. It is adjacent to the eastern terminus of State Highway 4 (Boca Chica Boulevard) and immediately south of Brazos State Park. The proposed control center area is located adjacent to Boca Chica Village, approximately 2 miles west of the proposed vertical launch area and north of Boca Chica Boulevard.
