From the Last Frontier to the Final Frontier

Providing launch services, since 1998, from the Pacific Spaceport Complex – Alaska (PSCA)

Kodiak Island, Alaska

About Us

Alaskans are used to taking on tough challenges that require innovation and grit. The same holds true to accessing space.

Established in 1991, the Alaska Aerospace Corporation (AAC), a State-owned corporation, has been at the forefront of commercial vertical orbital access to space. We are responsive, agile, cost effective and experienced. AAC Headquarters is located in Anchorage, Alaska.

AAC owns and operates the Pacific Spaceport Complex – Alaska (PSCA) on Kodiak Island, Alaska. The PSCA supports government and commercial launch customers for national security, commercial and science missions. The spaceport provides year-round launch operations with commercial air, ice free port and State maintained road access. Our first launch from the PSCA was in 1998 with 35 launches to date.

AAC is partnered, through the State statutes, with the University of Alaska Fairbanks Geophysical Institute (UAFGI). The UAFGI owns and operates the Poker Flat Research Range near Fairbanks, Alaska. AAC is working with UAFGI to license the PFRR for orbital launch over land. The PSCA and the PFRR both have instrumented ranges. AAC has also pioneered and deployed a proprietary mobile Range Safety, Tracking, and Telemetry System (RSTS). RSTS has successfully supported government and commercial launches at the PSCA and spaceports worldwide. Our people operate in remote (uncongested) environments. Our facilities are state of the art, self-sufficient and digitally connected. These are just a few of the reasons government and commercial customers trust AAC as their launch partner of choice when they need to launch on time and on budget.

Alaska is 20% of the US land mass, with the longest US coastline, overlooking the largest body of water on the planet (the Pacific Ocean). It has a low population density, manageable air and maritime routes. AAC has decades of first mover launch experience. Beyond Kodiak, AAC is expanding the Nation's capacity to access space with new orbital and horizontal spaceports as well as initiatives such as the Pacific Test Range (PTR)—set to become the world’s longest ground-instrumented test range. Alaska has found itself at ground zero for the future of space launch. Nothing is off the table.
