All Points Logistics Awarded $250M U.S. Space Force CSO for Spacecraft Processing at Vandenberg
The award deepens All Points' footprint at Vandenberg through its Space Prep line of business, which also holds a 65-acre, 50-year NASA land lease at Kennedy Space Center (KSC) in Florida, where it is developing more than 540,000 square feet of processing and logistics space.
Vandenberg is the nation's primary launch site for polar-orbit, reconnaissance, and other national security missions. The new Spacecraft Processing Center is designed to provide significantly increased payload processing capacity for National Security Space missions, while also supporting broader civil and commercial mission demand. All Points is bringing private capital to this effort as part of the Space Prep business line — an Infrastructure-as-a-Service model – a sustainable approach that keeps the facility commercially owned and operated while serving Space Force mission needs.
The facility will include multiple high- and low-bay processing areas, dual encapsulation bays, blast-rated hazardous processing capability, secure mission areas, conditioned storage, and advanced communications and monitoring systems. These features are designed to support parallel mission flows, accommodate multiple spacecraft classes and launch service providers, reduce operational chokepoints, and improve schedule confidence for missions launching from Vandenberg. The multi-bay configuration and capacity for concurrent hazardous operations are also intended to reduce delays tied to facility clearances, transfers, and limited processing space, while supporting tactically responsive space needs — enabling spacecraft to be prepared, stored, maintained, and moved toward launch readiness more efficiently.
"This proposed facility is designed to give the Space Force a faster, more flexible path to increased spacecraft processing capacity on the West Coast," said Phil Monkress, CEO of All Points Logistics. "By combining private capital with targeted government investment, All Points will deliver a scalable Infrastructure-as-a-Service capability that strengthens assured access to space, improves mission throughput, and reduces long-term sustainment burdens for the government."
"As an independent provider unaffiliated with launch service providers or spacecraft manufacturers, we offer priority access to the Space Force and neutral access to others with consistent pricing," said Kevin Brown, Senior Vice President at Space Prep. "The commercial ownership and operation model frees the government from relying on scarce military construction funding while adding competition and dissimilar redundancy to the nation's space launch industrial base."
