Description
The International Space Research Park™ (ISRP) at NASA’s John F. Kennedy Space Center (KSC) is a partnership between NASA and the State of Florida to build an environment for world-class research and technology development performed through the collaborative efforts of industry, academia, and government.
This initiative offers an unprecedented opportunity for eligible organizations – commercial, university-affiliated, and governmental – to access a prime site on KSC for location of their activities related to the International Space Station, the emerging KSC Spaceport Technology Center, and the Cape Canaveral Spaceport. A 400-acre site south of the KSC Visitor Complex will be developed as the ISRP. This paper describes the concept for this park, why and how it will be built, the benefits for both public and private sectors, and what steps the ISRP partnership has taken toward implementation.
