Arizona's position in the space economy is being built on assets that already exist.
The state ranks first nationally in guided missile and space vehicle manufacturing employment concentration. More than $2.8 billion in aerospace and defense expansion investment has landed in Arizona over the past five years. More than 12,500 jobs have been added, and more than 60 aerospace and defense expansions have been announced.
What has been missing is a shared view of where these assets connect, where the opportunities sit, and what actions matter most over the next decade.
The Arizona Space Blueprint™ was developed through the 2026 Space Congress and informed by leaders across industry, government, academia, investment, and economic development. It brings together the data, priorities, opportunities, and market signals shaping Arizona's role in the global space economy.
For entrepreneurs, investors, researchers, policymakers, educators, and operators, the Space Blueprint serves as a practical resource for understanding where Arizona stands today and where it can go next.
The Blueprint provides the roadmap.
SpaceOS™ provides ongoing access to the intelligence, opportunities, and connections helping bring that roadmap to life.
