In most cases, scientists and engineers have developed theories about the performance and capabiities of new innovations; however, without the proper environment to test and collect data, those therories remain just that.

We promote the mix of military and civilian activities but provide an environment where security and access can be tailored to fit your needs.

Our facility offers telemetry, tracking, GPS, communications, guidance, and air space management tools within an environment that is condusive to validation excersizes. Located at Columbus Municipal Airport (BAK) we have controlled airspace and adjacent Special Use Airspace (SUA). Working closely with the FAA, we have successfully launched a variety of payloads and continue to expand our services. Beginning is May 2009, rocket launches will begin and provide customers with opportunities to test within the rigorous environment of high G loads, vibration and even rapid descent.
