Evidence architecture, open items and sources

Everything on this map is built from public documents. This page states how the graph is computed, what each source tier may carry, what this release does not answer and where every claim comes from.

Open items

Research that is under way and not yet supported by primary records. None of it is published as a finding here, and the absence of a node is never read as the absence of a thing.

Facility and launch operations

• The real property instruments behind each Cape Canaveral Space Force Station launch complex assignment, which would turn operates complex relations into lease relations where a lease is published.
• The full launch complex roster at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station, including the disposition of Launch Complex 15 after ABL Space Systems left the commercial launch market.
• Any Firefly Aerospace Florida presence.
• Port Canaveral space cargo tonnage and the operators working it, from primary port records.
• Any JAXPORT role in space hardware movement.
• Port Canaveral: primary records of space related cargo and recovery work before 2010, which would move its Florida space year earlier.
• Launch Complex 36: the return to flight date once the rebuild completes, and the FAA decision on the New Glenn cadence increase.

Workforce and industrial structure

• ULA Vulcan production depth in Decatur and the Delta Operations Center footprint at the Cape.
• Collins Aerospace Melbourne: the site and its space scope. The site carries no documented relation to another node and is held off the map under the inclusion rule until a primary source documents one.
• Northrop Grumman Melbourne: a documented Florida space relation at the site. The B-21 design and engineering work and the state authority’s 2014 financing are documented; space work at the site is not, and the site is held off the map until a primary source documents it.
• Pratt and Whitney West Palm Beach operations as they stand after the engine separation.
• Employer specific graduate and technician pipelines from the universities to named employers, published only from a documented partnership, hiring record or internship program.
• Eastern Florida State College and the technical college workforce pipeline.

Data and statutory history

• Statewide space employment and output figures from a primary state or federal series.
• L3Harris Technologies: a primary record of the Melbourne headquarters history, which would move its Florida space year earlier than the 2021 Palm Bay campus relation that sets it now.
• Statute subsection history: the chapter law that added each subsection of s. 331.304, so that each designation edge carries its own enactment year rather than the section history.
