Texas A&M University Becomes NASA's Premier Space Research Hub

NASA has selected Texas A&M University as the first approved facility in Exploration Park, a 240-acre development at the Johnson Space Center in Houston, to lease underutilized land for the development of a facility focused on human spaceflight research and development to enhance the commercial space economy. The lease agreement will allow the A&M System and others to create facilities for collaborative development, increasing commercial access and competitiveness in the space and aerospace industries. This collaboration aims to support U.S. goals for the commercialization and development of a robust space economy by fostering a multi-use environment for academic researchers, aerospace companies, and entrepreneurs to collaborate with NASA.
