With an air traffic control tower and all the supporting services and equipment necessary for horizontal launch and landing, the LLF is capable of supporting all types and sizes of aircraft and spacecraft vehicles. The 15,000-foot runway is set in a secure location providing year-round access to restricted airspace that is well away from populated areas.
The LLF provides a unique capability for new and expanding suborbital launch providers, unmanned aerial vehicle operators and other aerospace-related businesses to thrive in a location that maximizes the resources of the Space Center and Eastern Range operations, said Space Florida President Frank DiBello, at the time.
