  1. Mario Busacca KSC Spaceport Planning Office March 2014 Transforming to a Multi User Spaceport

  2. KSC = $6b Irreplaceable Asset Established 1962 140,000 acres

  3. Where We Started George Mueller, NASA’s head of manned space flight, briefing President Kennedy at Complex 37. Nov 16, 1963

  4. Whatwe’re known for worldwide

  5. KSC’s Mission • NASA Space Launch System (SLS) • 5 to 7 flights over the next 20 years • Commercial Crew Program • One to two Commercial Providers to ISS • Extended ISS Mission to 2024 • Support commercial space industry • Per NASA 2010 Authorization Act • Leasing of assets • Launch Services Program • Payloads to earth orbit and beyond Artist rendering: SLS launching from KSC’s LC-39B

  6. KSC’s Master Plan • KSC Master Plans has been in work since 2010 • The first product was the Future Development Concept (FDC) • KSC was first Center to develop an FDC and get approval • Provides the basis for the Plan you will see today • This KSC Master Plan provides the tools and analyses to support future decisions regarding development and asset utilization • Planning Background • Existing Conditions • Future Development Sensitive but Unclassified

  7. Components of the Master Plan Provided in a Web Based format for efficiency and ease of use and updates What Planners Want To Know Where We Are Going Where We Are Today Sensitive but Unclassified

  8. KSC Master Plan Core Strategies Ensure that the Space Launch System (SLS), Orion, Commercial Crew Program (CCP), International Space Station (ISS), and Launch Services Provider (LSP) activities are fully operational and have fully capable facilities, assets, and resources. Support NASA Mission and Program • Divesting of assets without eliminating capability to serve both critical government missions and programs while encouraging the growth of commercial space transportation market needs. Divest without Diminishing Improve operational, fiscal and environmental sustainability. Leaner and Greener Improve operational, fiscal and environmental sustainability Evolution to a Multi-User Spaceport Move from a monolithic NASA program field installation to a Multi-User Spaceport of Federal property Move from a monolithic NASA program field installation to a Multi-User Spaceport of Federal property

  9. KSC Future Land Use Plan • Not a traditional Master Plan • Usually a Capital Improvement Plan • Provides for functional areas and zones of activity • Government only • Industrial • Commercial Sensitive but Unclassified

  10. Facility Divestments

  11. KSC Transformation via Assets Partnering • Asset partnership agreements in place: • Focus has been to provide major assets to industry: • Space Florida at OPF3 • Craig Technologies at NSLD • United Paradyne at HMF • PaR Systems at Hangar N • Partnerships in Negotiation • Shuttle Landing Facility (SLF) • Launch Complex 39A • Current focus for future is on other assets: • Vehicle Assembly Building (VAB) • Mobile Launcher Platforms (MLP’s) • Minor Facilities • Land
