Space Florida Board of Directors Chair, Lieutenant Governor Jeanette Nuñez and the entire Florida Defense Support Task Force (FDSTF) sent letters to the Secretary of the Air Force urging him to select Florida as the home for the Space Training and Readiness Command (STARCOM) headquarters and Space Delta 13, the education and training facility.
Florida is one of only two states being considered for both STARCOM headquarters and a Delta facility. The state already serves as a hub for military space operations, as evidenced by the recent announcement of Tampa being activated as Space Force’s second regional headquarters under the U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM).
Space Florida worked in partnership with Florida Defense Support Task Force, and Enterprise Florida on this letter initiative. Space Florida’s recent efforts complement the work already done by the Economic Development Commission of Florida’s Space Coast, Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University, Florida High Tech Corridor, Florida Institute of Technology, National Center for Simulation, Team Volusia Economic Development Corporation, and University of Central Florida on the campaign to bring STARCOM and Space Delta 13 to the state.
