Description
Florida's involvement in the U.S. space program grew out of a geographic requirement to launch rockets. What started as the "Joint Long Range Proving Ground" ultimately became Kennedy Space Center and Cape Canaveral Air Force Station, both comprising the nation's busiest spaceport.
This paper will summarize Florida's activities in space education, and describe a new initiative that could greatly increase Florida's (and the nation's) capability to support small academic and commercial space experiments.
