Texas Southern University’s Aviation Science and Technology program is reaching new heights with the approval of a training facility at the Houston Spaceport.

A ribbon-cutting ceremony was held Wednesday afternoon for the new Collins Aerospace building at the Houston Spaceport.

Space City is home to rapid development, and when it comes to the aerospace industry, there is lots of it.

Houston Mayor Sylvester Turner and the Houston Airport System will break ground on the new Collins Aerospace Building at the Houston Spaceport Monday.

HOUSTON – The Houston Spaceport will be home to the world’s first space station to built by a commercial space company. Houston Mayor Sylvester Turner announced Tuesday that Axiom Space will build a 14-acre headquarters at the city’s spaceport next year and provide 1,000 high-paying jobs. Suffredini said the first module of the Axiom space station is set to be launched in late 2024 and will be the first commercial module to be attached to the International Space Station. Once the ISS is retired, the Axiom modules will detach and remain in low-earth orbit. Axiom will also provide commercial missions to the space station, the first of which is expected to launch late next year, Suffredini said.
