    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham Contact: Bruce Krasnow Cabinet Secretary Alicia J. Keyes Br​ [email protected] Deputy Secretary Jon Clark 505- 795-0119 Aug. 20, 2020 New Mexico Company Wins Major Space Contract Spaceport America Experience Key to Winning NASA Bid SANTA FE, N.M. – A New Mexico company with operational ties to Spaceport America has been awarded a major contract at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL), Cabinet Secretary Alicia J. Keyes announced today. Fiore Industries Inc. has secured the 10-year contract from JPL in Pasadena, CA. to provide campus-wide security and fire protection services. The newly awarded contract provides JPL with critical life safety support for all campus personnel and is worth $130 million over the next decade. Bill Miera, founder and CEO of Fiore Industries, is a New Mexico native who earned his bachelor's and master's degrees at the University of New Mexico. The JPL contract comes after Fiore gained experience with smaller contractual work at NASA White Sands and Spaceport America. Fiore will expand from 140 to 200 employees after the JPL contract transition on Oct. 1. Many of the operations and support positions will remain in Albuquerque with approximately 30 employees located at Spaceport America, as part of its obligations for security and protection of the 18,000-acre Spaceport, near Truth or Consequences, N.M. “We are a New Mexico company and we try to do all the support out of Albuquerque," Miera said. “We have all local vendors, hire engineers in Albuquerque, and even do our own manufacturing.

The development of robotic exploration to distant planets and bodies across the solar system, as well as pioneering human space exploration in earth orbit and of the moon, paved the way for ambitious long-term space exploration. Today, space exploration goes far beyond a merely technological endeavour, as its further development will have a tremendous social, cultural and economic impact. Space activities are entering an era in which contributions of the humanities—history, philosophy, anthropology—, the arts, and the social sciences—political science, economics, law—will become crucial for the future of space exploration. Space policy thus will gain in visibility and relevance. The series Studies in Space Policy shall become the European reference compilation edited by the leading institute in the field, the European Space Policy Institute. It will contain both monographs and collections dealing with their subjects in a transdisciplinary way. More information about this

A spaceport will unlock economic growth and jobs in existing UK industries and regions, while positioning the UK to take advantage of emerging demand for commercial human spaceflight, small satellite launch, microgravity research, parabolic flights, near-space balloon tourism, and eventually high-speed point-to-point travel. Without a specific site selected and looking at the economic impact of a spaceport generically, this report expects the spaceport to deliver approximately £2.5bn and 8,000 jobs to the broader UK economy over 10 years. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY 1 Executive Summary Our plan is for Britain to have a fully functional, operating spaceport “by 2018. This would serve as a European focal point for the pioneers of commercial spaceflight using the potential of spaceflight experience companies like Virgin Galactic, XCOR and Swiss S3 to pave the way for satellite launch services to follow.
