ALT What happens when a launch pad suddenly goes silent? As launch cadence increases and space becomes more integrated into commerce, national security, communications, and exploration, the resilience of our spaceport infrastructure becomes increasingly important. Recent events at Cape Canaveral serve as a reminder that launch operations depend on more than rockets. They rely on a limited network of specialized facilities, infrastructure, workforce, and supply chains working together to support access to space. When one critical node experiences disruption, the effects can ripple across missions, customers, and schedules throughout the industry. In this latest GSA article, When One Pad Goes Silent, we explore why redundancy, infrastructure investment, geographic diversity, and a stronger network of spaceports are essential to supporting the future of space transportation. 🚀 Read the article: https://www.globalspaceportalliance.com/when-one-pad-goes-silent/ #Spaceports

ALT Spaceports are becoming more connected than ever. They are evolving into intelligent hubs that support every stage of launch. As launch activity increases, coordination across transportation, infrastructure, and communities is driving the need for advanced digital systems. AI, digital twins, and integrated data platforms are enabling safer operations, faster decisions, and more efficient paths to orbit. In a new SpaceCom Second Stage article with Guada Casuso at Parsons Corporation, she explores how AI is transforming the future of launch operations.
