The Kodiak Launch Complex has extended a public comment period on a draft environmental assessment for facility expansions.
A press release from the Federal Aviation Administration said the extension is a result of public comments already received and an public meeting that was held earlier this month in Kodiak. Folks will now be allowed to submit comments on the draft assessment to the FAA until November 1.
The environmental assessment comes as the launch complex looks to expand its facility to include a new launch pad and provide for medium-lift launch capability. This would include construction of the pad, a vehicle processing facility, rocket staging facility, liquid fueling facility and mission control center, as well as modifying an existing road.
The full environmental assessment is available online . There are also hard copies available at the Kodiak Public Library, Kodiak College Library and Anchorage Municipal Library.
