THU 11:45 AM - 12:30 PM

Meeting Room 201

Mr. Jim Sutton

Utah has a deep historical role in U.S. space efforts through solid rocket propulsion, space instrumentation and re-entry/recovery testing at the Utah Test and Training Range (UTTR). The state is actively advancing an inland spaceport to address national needs for resilient launch capacity amid coastal congestion. This growth offers significant economic value, DoD opportunities for testing and industrial-base resilience. This session explores the history and future of this effort as we realize Utah’s potential as an inland spacepower hub over the next 50 years.
