From the Last Frontier to the Final Frontier,
Alaska Aerospace Development Corporation
and Kodiak Launch Complex

Alaska Aerospace Development Corporation owns and operates the Kodiak Launch Complex (KLC), a state-of-the-industry spaceport on Kodiak Island. KLC offers unobstructed flight paths away from populated areas and its latitude makes the facility ideal for launching satellites into polar orbits, and sub-orbital payloads for research
and development.

AADC serves the international aerospace industry providing comprehensive launch services and is the first FAA-licensed, non-federally owned commercial spaceport in
the U.S.

The mission of AADC is to provide space launch services, promote space-related industries in the state and to stimulate interest in space careers and technology among Alaska’s young people.

AADC is a self-sustaining corporation and receives no state funding.
