Adams County's Colorado Air and Space Port (CASP) is unique in the Denver metropolitan area, as it is the only general aviation airport without major nearby residential areas. The airport's 3,100 acres of land, about two-thirds the land area, makes CASP larger than all other general aviation airports in the area combined. CASP provides all-weather aviation facilities, with excellent access to I-70 and Denver International Airport. 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.
