On July 22, 2009, General Dynamics C4 Systems officially opened SpacePlex 2 at New Mexico State University’s Arrowhead Research Park. Chris Marzilli, President of General Dynamics C4 Systems and Gene Milchak, Director of Satellite Ground Systems and Operations were on hand for the ribbon cutting ceremony.
Under an NMSU lease agreement, the General Dynamics C4 Systems SpacePlex 2 adds more than 15,000 square feet of office, laboratory and secure work areas to the company’s existing presence in the research park. SpacePlex 2 is within walking distance of the current SpacePlex facility, which was dedicated in 2001.
For three decades, General Dynamics has supported NASA projects from key New Mexico vantage points including NMSU and White Sands Missile Range. Beginning with a contract to provide ground support for NASA’s TDRSS program in 1978, the company’s space and satellite- related operations have outgrown a number of local facilities.
