All Points Logistics won a $250 million contract from the US Space Force to design and build a spacecraft processing center at Vandenberg Space Force Base, expected to open by mid-2029, enhancing rocket launch capacity. The facility will support military, commercial, and civil space missions and complements a similar project underway at NASA's Kennedy Space Center.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Government & Space.

◆ The Wire takeaway

You can expect a surge in demand for specialised spacecraft processing services on the West Coast within three years. Opening your offering to the military and commercial launch markets near Vandenberg could unlock new contracts sooner than legacy facilities allow.
