US Department of Transportation has named Space Port Indiana as eligible for STIM (Space TRansportation Infrastructure Matching Grants). The granting authority was orginially created in 1993 but 2010 is the first tme that the funding has been approved by Congress. The funding will allow Space Ports to improve or add infrastructure that will make the national space program even better. Privatization of certain activities has made space accessible for many who were simply left out because of cost or access. The infrastructure request being made by SPI will help add capability to Indiana that will serve both military and civilian activities. The funds will be administered by AST 100 of the FAA.
