Colorado Air and Space Port (CASP), formerly Front Range Airport, is a public-use general aviation airport owned by Adams County and one of only 14 FAA-licensed commercial spaceports in the U.S. Located near Watkins, just seven miles from Denver International Airport, CASP serves as a key General Aviation Reliever Airport in the FAA’s national system.
CASP’s vision is to serve as America’s hub for commercial space transportation, research, and development. Horizontal launch facilities like CASP are developing around the world and have the potential to become the foundation for a global suborbital transportation network. Located one mile closer to space, Colorado’s aerospace companies, education institutions, and state leadership are growing aerospace talent and capabilities as the state’s aerospace industry continues to expand.
