The state of West Virginia will apply to host the country’s future United States Space Academy.
Gov. Patrick Morrisey made the announcement during a press conference at the Robert H. Mollohan Research Center in Fairmont on Wednesday. He also noted West Virginia’s strong contributions to the nation’s space program -- including NASA pioneer Katherine Johnson and aerospace engineer and author Homer Hickam.
“When you hear those names, you know that West Virginia didn’t just reach for the stars. Our people helped make progress happen,” Morrisey said. “And now we have an opportunity to compete for a whole new opportunity here in West Virginia.”
President Donald Trump established the space academy through executive order in August – but a site has yet to be determined. The facility will require at least 300 acres and will need to accommodate up to 1,200 students by 2031 and 4,000 students in the following years.
Morrisey said the effort will bring new jobs, investments and educational opportunities to the Mountain State – but he wants ideas from the public.
“I’m excited to get input from all citizens in the state of West Virginia. So if you’re watching right now, give us your best ideas,” he said during the live-streamed event. “The application deadline, I believe, is Oct. 26th, and we want to make sure that we’re factoring all of your feedback.”
