6:30pm - 9:30pm Opening Reception at the Bore Tide Bar-- Situated 2300 feet above the Turnagain Arm, the Bore Tide Bar The Bore Tide Bar offers stunning panoramic views of Turnagain Arm, the Chugach Mountain Range, and seven “hanging” glaciers.

June 28

8:00am- 7:00pm Tour of the Pacific Space Port Complex- Kodiak Island-- The Pacific Spaceport Complex – Alaska (PSCA) on Kodiak Island provides responsive, flexible, and low-cost access to space for small- and light-lift vertical rockets and stratospheric balloons. PSCA has been launching rockets since 1998 and was the first FAA-licensed spaceport not co-located on a federal range. One of the pioneering features of PSCA is its’ economic model. Since 2015, the spaceport has not accepted state or federal funds for operations & maintenance and must operate within earned revenues. As such, PSCA provides unqualified economic benefit to Alaska, stimulates innovation, and keeps the team focused on customer outcomes versus stifling bureaucratic processes. As one of only four orbital vertical rocket launch sites in the United States, PSCA plays a key role in providing resiliency for US access to space. PSCA also enjoys the largest launch azimuth range of any spaceport in the US and can access high-inclination, polar, and sun-synchronous orbits between 59° and 110° inclination. FLIGHT IS FULLY BOOKED!!!
