Mojave
Mojave Spaceport. Location of Scaled Composites flight test facility, and the first FAA-certified inland spaceport. It was used for 17 launches of the Tier One manned spaceplane from 2003 to 2004, reaching up to 112 kilometers altitude.

First Launch: 2003-05-20. Last Launch: 2014-01-17. Number: 59 . Location: Mojave, California. Longitude: -118.15 deg. Latitude: 35.06 deg. Apogee: 850 km (520 mi).

Mojave Airport was established by Kern County in 1935 for general aviation. In 1942, the airport became the Mojave Marine Corps Auxiliary Air Station. In July l961, Kern County again obtained title and operated the airport as a general aviation airport with a connected industrial park. The airport developed as a center for modification, storage, and flight test of a wide range of aircraft. Mojave Airport was also used by Hollywood as a location for many motion pictures and television programs (among them DieHard 2, Hot Shots, Thirteen Days). By 2003 Mojave was hosting an average of 57 flight operations per day, and over 300 aircraft were based there (including 75 jet aircraft).

Aerospace companies based at Mojave include Flight Research, Inc (providing flight training and test aircraft for the US and foreign military forces, on aircraft ranging up to the Swedish Draken fighter); BAE Flight Systems (provides drone conversions, ranging up to the F-4 fighter); Scaled Composites (flight test center for Burt Rutan's innovative designs, including Voyager, Proteus and Tier One); and Flight Test Associates (a leading supplier of FAA-approved, non-OEM civilian transport conversions).

The runways at Mojave were:
