- NASA will also continue supporting small satellite missions, including CubeSat, the next generation of scientists, engineers, and technologists.
- Kennedy's spaceport will see a busy year for construction projects, including plans for mobile launchers, spaceport infrastructure, and upgrades to accomodate new missions and milestones.
