Here's a fact sheet from Aerospace Corp on this space-fighting center...
The Aerospace Corporation (Aerospace) is a leading architect for the nation’s space programs, providing trusted technical expertise to solve the hardest problems in space and support our government partners in their efforts to outpace the adversary threat.

Aerospace’s presence in Colorado Springs dates back to the 1970s, when staff traveled to Falcon (now Schriever) and Peterson Air Force bases to support various space programs. That presence was expanded with the opening of a dedicated facility in 2007, housing Aerospace’s program office and technical staff.

Aerospace is building on that commitment through the construction of a state-of-the-art facility in Colorado Springs, set to open in late 2022, that will complement our existing building and expand our capabilities to meet the technical and strategic needs of our growing customer base in the region.

Space Warfighting Center

The new building, referred to as the Space Warfighting Center (SWC), is designed to enable Aerospace to meet the needs of today’s customers in shaping the future of the national security space enterprise, while also allowing the flexibility to adapt to evolving mission requirements.

The facility includes a multipurpose center to support simulation exercises and meetings with industry and government partners. It will also provide critical laboratory space to further Aerospace’s innovative work and a high level of connectivity to facilitate virtual design activities and other collaborative efforts with Aerospace locations in El Segundo, California; Chantilly, Virginia; and Albuquerque, New Mexico.

The facility and the additional staffing it will support will enhance Aerospace’s capabilities in several key areas, including:

• Employing high-fidelity analysis and physics-based modeling and simulation in a digital engineering environment

• Providing technical expertise to support Force Design for the entire space enterprise

• Developing physics- and risk-informed tactics, techniques, and procedures to support space warfighting and space warfighters

Aerospace is also advancing the Space Warfighter Initiative (SWI), which will aid government partners in developing and evaluating space warfighting concepts using physics-based tools as well as modeling and simulations, while enabling critical humans-in-the-loop assessments.

SWC Facts • Address: 7246 Getting Heights Colorado Springs, CO 80916 • 90,000 square feet

• $100 million construction cost approved

• Broke ground in summer 2020

• Occupancy expected in winter 2022

If the Feral government is involved it will be just another budget item for laundering money
