  • FAA's Final Environmental Assessment and Finding of No
    THIS PAGE INTENTIONALLY LEFT BLANK Final Environmental Assessment for the Midland International Air and Space Port, City of Midland, Midland County, Texas AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), lead; National Aeronautics and Space Administration, cooperating agency. ABSTRACT: This Final Environmental Assessment (EA) addresses the potential environmental impacts of the City of Midland’s proposal to operate a commercial space launch site at the Midland International Airport (MAF) in Midland County, Texas and offer the site to XCOR Aerospace, Inc. (XCOR) for the operation of the Lynx horizontal take‐off and horizontal landing reusable launch vehicle (RLV) and engine testing. To operate a commercial space launch site, the City of Midland must obtain a launch site operator license from the FAA. Under the Proposed Action addressed in this EA, the FAA would: (1) issue a launch site operator license to the City of Midland for the operation of a commercial space launch site at MAF, (2) issue experimental permits and/or launch licenses to XCOR that would allow XCOR to conduct launches of the Lynx RLV from MAF, and (3) provide unconditional approval to modify the existing Airport Layout Plan (ALP) to reflect the designation of a launch site boundary, installation of aboveground propellant storage tanks, and construction of a concrete pad for engine testing. Proposed launch operations would begin in 2014 and continue through 2018. The frequency of launch operations would initially be one launch per week, eventually increasing to two launches per day, five days a week. Fifty‐two annual launch operations are proposed in 2014. The total number of annual launch operations would increase each year until 2018 when 520 annual launch operations are proposed.
