Support to Northern Space Operations ALASKA AEROSPACE OVERVIEW

• Charter to diversity economy with aerospace industry • Established 1991 as State of Alaska public corporation • Primary focus of creating economic hub with spaceport • Established and trusted launch capabilities • FAA-licensed commercial spaceport • Government & commercial users • Orbital and sub-orbital capability • Business-oriented, low-cost, efficient & effective • No Sustainment funding from State or Federal agencies • Wholly-owned subsidiary, Aurora Launch Services, provides flexible and cost-efficient staffing solutions for daily operations and surge support ESTABLISHED ORBITAL COMMERCIAL SPACEPORT

• Kodiak Island, Alaska • Located on 3,700 acres of public land at Narrow Cape • Established Logistics: scheduled sea and air transport • Fiber optic connectivity for off-site data • Year-round launch operations; Gulf of Alaska moderates temperatures

• Oriented for responsive access to space • Efficient for Polar, sun synchronous, and high inclination orbits • 21-year launch history – government orbital & suborbital missions, missile defense, commercial launch • Focus on small and light-lift launch vehicles (Minotaur IV, Athena, Venture Class) Pt Arguello • ~$120M of capital investment at PSCA • Federal, State, and private-sector funding • On-going spaceport enhancements to maintain state-of-the-industry capabilities YEAR MONTH SPONSOR MISSION 21 YEARS’ LAUNCH EXPERIENCE 1998 NOV USAF AIT-1 1999 SEP USAF AIT-2 2001 MAR USAF QRLV-1 SEP NASA/USAF Kodiak Star NOV SMDC STARS WCRRF 2002 APR USAF QRLV-2 2004 DEC MDA IFT-13C 2005 FEB MDA IFT-14 2006 FEB MDA FT04-1 SEP MDA FTG-02 2007 MAY MDA FTG-03 SEP MDA FTG-03a 2008 JUL MDA FTX-03 DEC MDA FTG-05 2010 NOV USAF STP-S26 2011 SEP ORS/USAF TacSat-4 2014 AUG SMDC AHW FT-2 2017 JUN MDA FTT-18 JUL MDA FET-01 2018 JUL Private Commercial NOV Private Commercial 2019 JUL MDA FTA-01 PSCA COMPREHENSIVE CAPABILITIES

• Multiple control centers provide flexibility and responsiveness • Primary LOCC supports PSCA Range Ops and 70+ customer mission staff • EMC2 allows for simultaneous preparation of govt & commercial missions • EMC2 allows for smaller launch teams to maintain on-site mission ops capability • Provides privacy and security for multiple customer operations • LOCC & EMC2 resources can be utilized together for large complex missions

Launch Operations Control Center (LOCC)

Extended Mission Control Center (EMC2) PAYLOAD PROCESSING FACILITY (PPF) • Capability to support on-site payload processing • Two 100K class clean rooms – can support 10K level • Equipment airlock • Blast-proof operations room • 15T crane • Hypergolic fuel capabilities ROBUST & FLEXIBLE INSTRUMENTATION

• Three independent range safety and telemetry systems • One fixed & two transportable systems (with 2 antennas each) • DoD & FAA approved Command Destruct System (CDS) • L- & S-band (fixed system is C-band capable) • Plan to add a fourth system and continue system modernization • X-band commercial weather radar improves weather analysis • Measure thick cloud to assess risk of triggered lightning • Detailed insight into local weather conditions LAUNCH SUPPORT FOR ROCKET LAB USA

• Range Safety & Telemetry System (RSTS) Support • Mahia peninsula, New Zealand • AAC has supported all RocketLab launches; May 2017 – present

• Provides value back to Alaska • Alaskans supporting beyond strengthens State’s market position • Developing valuable experience in emerging light-lift market ALEUTIAN TEST RANGE (ATR)

• Deployment of transportable instrumentation extends data collection and flight safety systems • PSCA serves as proven data and mission operations hub • Land-based assets lowers overall costs and improves range reliability • AAC has previously provided off-axis tracking operations from Sand Point (~345mi SE of PSCA) AAC BUSINESS OUTLOOK

• Increased diversity in Kodiak launch customers • Transition from one annual government customer (e.g., USAF, MDA) to current mix of six commercial and government customers • Less vulnerable to launch and program delays • Adding multi-year agreements • Support to other locations • Subcontractor on NASA ROC II contract • Exploring Poker Flat Research Range support • Interest from other spaceports • Growing interest from space community • Satellite downlink opportunities at PSCA • New commercial launch companies • Expanded US Government interest PSCA IS WELL POSTURED FOR TO MEET LAUNCH OPERATIONS

• Well apportioned capabilities to conduct responsive launch • Existing $120M capital investments from Federal, State, and private sector contributes to a state-of-the-art spaceport • Capabilities scaled to support complex missions • Focus on small/medium lift – Venture-class vehicles • Next steps involve exercising the spaceport for responsiveness • Ability to launch rapidly without compromising safety • FAA license provides normalized oversight of processes • Standardized approaches and proven ability for public safety • Ability to provide on-demand launch assurance • 21-years of launch experience across variety of launch vehicles • Experience with regular commercial launch cadence • No conflict with human spaceflight or high-profile national missions • Spaceport enhancements for rapid launch flow and accurate meteorological predictions of launch commit criteria
