VOX Space, the Virgin Orbit subsidiary focused on the national security market, has signed an agreement with the U.S. Air Force that allows the company’s LauncherOne to fly missions from Andersen Air Force Base in Guam.
VOX Space President Mandy Vaughn and U.S. Air Force 36th Wing Commander Brig. Gen. Gentry Boswell signed last month what is known as a Commercial Space Operations Support Agreement, the company announced May 7.
The U.S. Air Force last year agreed to let VOX launch the STP-27VP mission from the Pacific island of Guam. Under the new agreement, VOX will get access to the launch site on Andersen Air Force Base for future missions as well.
