UNCLASSIFIED Future Initiatives South Mission District Area Development Plan (ADP) A B C Create a “Commercial Zone” on SVAFB enabling commercial Launch Service Providers (LSPs) to lease land for building required administrative, storage, launch control or processing facilities. Mission District Perimeter Security Fence Modification SVAFB Mission District perimeter security system modification to place the new Mission District outside of the controlled security area, enables public accessibility. Small Launch Vehicle Environmental Assessment (EA)/Launch & Landing Pads Develop a Small Launch Vehicle Programmatic EA to approve launch sites and launch rates at VAFB for small launch vehicles. Resulting EA will save Small Launch providers a potential 2 -yr effort and costs. SVAFB Gate Enhancement D SVAFB entry gate enhancement to support a new vehicle security inspection station for LSPs. Potential plan to connect NVAFB to SVAFB via an overpass roadway and incorporate a second inspection station on SVAFB. Care – Execute – Innovate 7

UNCLASSIFIED Future Initiatives (cont. ) E F G Space Launch Complex (SLC)-8 Transition SLC-8 into a government-facilitated launch pad for small Launch Service Providers launching government and commercial missions. GN 2 ASU and Pipeline Design and build a Gaseous Nitrogen (GN 2) Air Separation Unit (ASU), associated storage area and pipeline on SVAFB to produce launch quality nitrogen. Improve and Extend Utilities to new SVAFB Sites Extend roads, sewer, utilities, and communications to new SVAFB “green field” sites southeast of SLC-6/Boathouse to enable use of this area for small launch service providers. Care – Execute – Innovate 8

UNCLASSIFIED New Commodity to VAFB • Blue Origin BE-4 engine uses Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) – BE-4 projected to drive United Launch Alliance (ULA) Vulcan launch vehicle and Blue Origin’s own New Glenn launch vehicle • LNG not currently used as launch fuel at VAFB – No LNG transportation or storage infrastructure on-base – DLA-E not currently involved in bulk sale of LNG • Joint military community currently defining specific LNG specification Care – Execute – Innovate 9
