Being a state-owned corporation has advantages, but what really sets us apart is our independence. Since 2014, we’ve operated without state or federal programmed funding, relying on the revenue we earn from launches and support services. This means we get the best of both worlds: the stability of being a government entity and the flexibility of a private commercial company.
As a government entity, State advantages are clearly outlined in the State statutes such as land use, tax exemptions and interagency support. Federal advantages include, but are limited to, grants that only State agencies are eligible to secure. We enjoy bipartisan advocacy and support from our State and Federal government leaders.
As a commercial for profit corporation, we are enabled to move quickly to meet our customers’ needs. The aerospace industry changes fast. Our ability to adapt on the fly has made the PSCA a preferred choice for both commercial and government customers that demand timely and affordable launch solutions. Our financial independence also keeps us focused on delivering top-quality service—our success depends on it. Every dollar we make goes back into improving our facilities, investing in technology and supporting our team to help us remain competitive in a highly competitive industry.
At the end of the day, being a government entity, but commercially agile, allows Alaska Aerospace to engage private capital, to scale, to grow Alaska’s economy and pioneer the future of space exploration for the Nation.

Governance
AAC is guided by a Board of Directors, of which most are appointed by the Governor of Alaska. This diverse group of leaders come from business, military, education and the aerospace industry backgrounds. Their breadth and depth ensures a well-rounded approach to decision-making and strategic planning. Legislative representatives also serve on the board, in an ex-officio capacity, to help us stay aligned with Alaska’s strategic goals and interests.
Our executive team (CEO, CFO, COO and Kodiak General Manager) informs the Board and in turn receives the Board’s guidance for action. This governance structure allows AAC to balance strong oversight with the flexibility to innovate and respond to industry demands. It also ensures we operate with integrity, transparency and a commitment to excellence in everything we do for the people of Alaska. More information about the Board's structure, responsibilities, and membership can be found on the Alaska Boards and Commissions website here.
