U.S. Air Force Space Command granted a five-year license to Space Exploration Technologies (SpaceX) to operate at a launch site at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station, Fla., the Air Force announced April 26. SpaceX will perform launches from Space Launch Complex 40, previously used for Titan 4 missions.

The agreement will require SpaceX to pay for all improvements, construction, and maintenance associated with their operations, and the government will retain the right to allow other entities to use the launch site.
