All Points Logistics, the service-disabled veteran-owned small business headquartered in Titusville, has signed an exclusive agreement with NASA to lease 64 acres at Kennedy Space Center for a privately financed, multi-user spacecraft processing and logistics complex.

The new complex will be built along Schwarz Road near State Road 3, roughly a mile south of the Vehicle Assembly Building. When fully completed, it will include a 266,000-square-foot Spaceport Logistics Center and an adjacent 275,000-square-foot Spacecraft Processing Center — a combined 541,000 square feet pitched at national security, civil, and commercial customers alike.

Construction is slated to begin this year, with the Spaceport Logistics Center scheduled to open by the end of 2027.

For Titusville, the deal is significant on two fronts. It locks in another major private investment at KSC and it marks the largest single-lease footprint yet for the locally headquartered All Points program. The company, founded in 1997 and moved to Florida under CEO Phil Monkress in 2009, has previously earned Small Business Subcontractor of the Year honors from NASA and was a key technology supplier to Lockheed Martin on the Orion program.

“This agreement is a major step in positioning All Points as a leading global provider of launch support services through our Space Prep line of business,” Monkress said in a statement released on April 16th. “We value NASA’s partnership and look forward to beginning construction this year.”

Why It Matters: The Payload Processing Bottleneck

The pitch for the complex is straightforward: Florida is out of room.

Kennedy Space Center and Cape Canaveral Space Force Station collectively host the highest launch cadence on the planet, and government and industry forecasts now anticipate more than 1,000 satellite launches per year from Florida in the years to come, and before 2030. This will be driven primarily by national security constellations and emerging commercial services. The rockets and the pads have scaled to meet that demand. The ground infrastructure that prepares the payloads they carry has not.

Former NASA Administrator Jim Bridenstine, who appeared alongside Monkress at the signing, framed the problem bluntly. “As commercial, national security, and civil space launches have continued to increase, the infrastructure supporting them has struggled to keep pace,” Bridenstine said. “Kennedy Space Center and Cape Canaveral handle more launches than anywhere else on Earth. Processing capacity is a critical chokepoint. Private investment that expands that capacity, close to the launch pads, available to all operators, is the right solution at the right time.”

U.S. Rep. Mike Haridopolos (FL-08), whose district covers Titusville and most of Brevard County, called the project emblematic of the kind of private investment the Space Coast needs to maintain its lead.

“Kennedy Space Center is America’s launchpad to the stars, and investments like this new processing complex ensure it stays that way,” Haridopolos said. “This is exactly the kind of private-sector momentum we need to keep pace with the most dynamic launch market in history.”

A Titusville Company With Deep NASA Roots

All Points’ selection for the exclusive lease is the product of a long working relationship with the agency. Monkress, a U.S. Navy veteran, joined the company in 1999 and assumed full ownership in 2009, moving it to Florida the same year. Under his leadership, the firm grew from a small subcontractor into a prime and sub across a portfolio that now touches NASA, the Missile Defense Agency, the Department of Homeland Security, and the Department of Defense.

The new KSC complex will be branded under the company’s Space Prep line of business, a unit built out specifically to target commercial launch support services. For a Titusville-based veteran-owned small business to land an exclusive 64-acre NASA lease on the VAB side of the Banana River puts a locally headquartered company directly in the middle of the Space Coast’s next decade of growth — and the jobs and tax base that come with it.
