Aerojet Rocketdyne Coleman Aerospace Opens New Facility on Cape Canaveral

Aerojet Rocketdyne announced that recently acquired Coleman Aerospace unveiled its new Space Coast Integration and Test Facility at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station. The U.S. Air Force previously used the new facility’s location for rocket processing. The Air Force Space Command’s 45th Space Wing made the facility available to Space Florida to sublease to a company that would bring new work onto Cape Canaveral and create jobs. Coleman Aerospace worked with Space Florida to refurbish the facility so it could be used once again for production.

Key attendees at the ribbon cutting ceremony included Stan Thomas (Missile Defense Agency); Col. Matthew Wallace (U.S. Air Force Space Command’s 45th Space Wing); Jim Kuzma (Space Florida); representatives from the offices of Senator Bill Nelson; Congressman Bill Posey; Congressman Ted Yoho, and Senator Dorothy Hukill, among others.
