The company has also testing facilities where it tests engines, vehicle structures and systems on a 4,000-acre property in McGregor, Texas, as well as launch sites at the Cape Canaveral Air Force Station and Kennedy Space Center in Cape Canaveral, Florida; the Vandenberg Air Force Base in Lompoc, California; and in Boca Chica, Texas.
