In what is the most exciting offering in many years, FRE.com announces the online auction of a ±400-acre land parcel directly adjacent to the expansive - and expanding - Mojave Air and Space Port (MASP).

MASP is the first facility in the U.S.  to be licensed for horizontal launches of reusable spacecraft.

"The Mojave Air and Space Port is the thriving, bustling epicenter of the growing public-private partnerships that are the driving force behind the nation's booming space program," says Herb Grabell, listing broker with Kidder Mathews. This is a rare investment opportunity that will reap dividends as the programs and the surrounding areas expand."

The list of current companies utilizing the facilities at MASP is a Who's Who of space exploration, including Virgin Galactic, The Spaceship Company, Virgin's sister business, BAE, a British-based international consortium whose projects include the "design, manufacture, upgrade, and support combat and trainer aircraft," and over 60 other businesses that provide support for the space program.

"One standout Space Port tenant is Masten Space Systems, which is building the X-1 lunar lander scheduled to touchdown on the moon in 2022. This project, and others, add excitement to the potential return on investment," says Grabell.
