Historical Perspective on CSIP

In 1999, Congress appropriated $8.5 million for a 2-year study of existing space infrastructure at Vandenberg Air Force Base, Edwards Air Force Base, and other DoD sites within the State of California. CSA (then known as CSTA, the California Space and Technology Allliance) manages the study, which is to include engineering designs and architectural plans, by utilizing the expertise of professionals at Booz | Allen | Hamilton.

CSIP SCOPE

  • Establish existing infrastructure baseline [Asset Database] [Asset Input Form]
  • Identify infrastructure gaps/needs
  • Compare and design opportunities
  • Determine best options and strategy

Regional Meetings

As part of its continuing effort to implement The California Space Strategic Plan and support statewide infrastructure development, CSA (then CSTA) hosted a series of regional meetings throughout the state. The purpose of the meetings was to provide an overview of the California Space Infrastructure Program (CSIP) and outline how input regarding California space infrastructure will be garnered from statewide space stakeholders.
