The Geophysical Institute owns Poker Flat Research Range, about 30 miles north of Fairbanks, and operates it under a contract with NASA. The Alaska Aerospace Corp. owns and operates the Pacific Spaceport Complex-Alaska, about 45 miles south of the city of Kodiak.
The agreement could lead to commercial launches at Poker Flat.
