WHY TEST HERE?

 

"Why is Mojave good for flight testing? Because it is the equivalent to Silicon Valley for the emerging space industry."

Jeff Greason, XCor

 

"This is a Field of Dreams - if you have a dream, come here and we will help you make it come true."

Board of Directors, Mojave Air and Space Port

 

"You want to test a rocket engine? Where are you going to go? This is a place where you can do that."

Board of Directors, Mojave Air and Space Port

 

There are many things making Mojave an exceptional center for flight test:

1) A welcoming attitude toward imagination and experimentation,
2) A community of world-class tenants with a passion for flight test
3) A friendly regulatory environment in which critical barriers have already been broken down
4) Close proximity to suppliers in Los Angeles
5) A built-in supply of test pilots and test piloting resources on site
6) A flexible, skilled labor pool that can migrate according to the dynamics of tenant needs
7) Huge airspace away from populated urban areas located near the Edwards and China Lake test ranges, including the supersonic corridors
8) Should you ever need it, a sophisticated Aerospace Rescue and FireFighting operation (ARFF)

These are the reasons Mojave has become a natural center for aerospace research and development, and is being dubbed the emerging Silicon Valley of the personal spaceflight industry.
