Ellington Field Spaceport Feasibility Study
RS&H prepared a technical feasibility study for the Houston Airport System to evaluate the potential of developing Ellington Field as a commercial spaceport. To assess the technical feasibility of spaceport operations at the airport, RS&H conducted a number of analyses, including:
- Development of Spaceport Goals and Objectives
- Development of Preliminary Explosive Site Plan Analysis
- Development of Preliminary Airspace Analysis and Review of Potential Flight Corridors
- Development of Preliminary Environmental Review
- Assessment of Facility and Infrastructure
In addition, to the study, RS&H provided Houston Airport System with a Rough Order-of-Magnitude Estimate of costs and schedule for several options related to spaceport development. The results of the study have allowed the Houston Airport System to take a structured and measured approach to planning and licensing the airport as a spaceport.
