  • Addendum to the 2019 Written Re-Evaluation of the 2014 Final Environmental Impact Statement for the Spacex Texas Launch Site
    ADDENDUM TO THE 2019 WRITTEN RE-EVALUATION OF THE 2014 FINAL ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT FOR THE SPACEX TEXAS LAUNCH SITE Introduction and Background Introduction This written re-evaluation (WR) evaluates whether supplemental environmental analysis is needed to address changes to Space Exploration Technologies Corporation’s (SpaceX) ongoing program of experimental test flights of a reusable suborbital launch vehicle from SpaceX’s Boca Chica Launch Site (formerly referred to as the Texas Launch Site). This program is being conducted pursuant to the licensed test program (LRLO 20-119A) the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Office of Commercial Space Transportation issued on May 28, 2020. The affected environment and environmental impacts of construction and operation of the Boca Chica site in Cameron County, Texas were analyzed in the 2014 Final Environmental Impact Statement for the SpaceX Texas Launch Site (2014 EIS; FAA 2014a). The FAA’s Record of Decision (ROD) was issued for this action on July 9, 2014. This WR describes modifications to SpaceX’s Security Plan, specifically its intention to limit public access to the closure area defined in the 2014 EIS for an increased number of hours, and evaluates whether the impacts of the proposed increase in closures1 fall within the scope of impacts analyzed in the 2014 EIS. To accommodate the existing licensed test program (LRLO 20-119A), the 180 hours of closures per year would need to be increased to up to 300 hours of closures per year. Due to the nature of the testing, there have been two instances where closures extended overnight following unplanned test anomalies to ensure public safety prior to opening the road the next morning.

  • Notes and Documents the Texas Frontier in 1850: Dr. Ebenezer Swift
    Notes and Documents The Texas Frontier in 1850: Dr. Ebenezer Swift and the View From Fort Martin Scott by: CALEB COKER AND JANET G. HUMPHREY The Texas Frontier in 1850 was guarded by a line of army forts ranging from Fort Worth to Fort Duncan near Eagle Pass. With the end of the Mexican War, settlers had begun pushing toward the Texas interior, and troops became available to furnish new towns some measure of protection from raiding bands of Indians. 1 Fort Martin bScott, established between the towns of Fredericksburg and Zodiac in December 1848, was one such military post. The letter reproduced here, from the fort's physician, provides a marvelous glimpse of frontier Texas in 1850. It includes candid descriptions of a farm in Austin, life at the fort, and relationships with the local Indians. Native Americans living in the vicinity of Fort Martin Scott belonged to a number of tribes. The least predictable and most feared, however, were the Comanches. White settlements disrupted their wide-ranging lifestyle and threatened the abundant supply of game. In the mid-1840s their primary tactic was to attack settlers in small raiding parties and then vanish, often taking with them horses and other livestock. These hit-and-run assaults terrorized those on the frontier for decades.2 The Society for the Protection of German Immigrants in Texas had purchased 10,000 acres of forested land just north of the Pedernales River on Barron's Creek in December 1845. By the following May, settlers began arriving from New Braunfels at the town site named Fredericksburg.

Safety Challenges for a South Texas Spaceport By Wayne Eleazer and Edward Ellegood, ERAU Space Traffic Management Conference, November 2014 Introduction On September 22, 2014, Space Exploration Technologies (SpaceX) broke ground on a new spaceport facility at Boca Chica, a remote beach located east of Brownsville, Texas, less than three miles north of the U.S./Mexico border. The groundbreaking followed the successful completion of an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) in coordination with the Federal Aviation Administration’s Office of Commercial Space Transportation (FAA-AST), and the commitment of millions of dollars in financial assistance from Texas state and local governments. In addition to purely environmental/ecological impacts, the EIS focused on some other public safety risks, all of which were found to be acceptable with mitigating actions proposed by SpaceX. The EIS was an important step toward gaining community and state/local government support for the Boca Chica spaceport. The successful EIS triggered pledges of about $30 million in financial incentives that SpaceX plans to leverage to develop and operate the spaceport, a project expected to cost in excess of $100 million over several years.
