In the Gulf of Alaska, idyllic Kodiak Island is famous for its sockeye salmon, king crab, and roaming bison. However, this picturesque location is also home to the Pacific Spaceport Complex, a world-class rocket-launching facility since its opening in 1998.

I have many fond memories of Kodiak. Maybe it's time to stalk another launch site.

Kodiak Island and towns are about to be renamed to their native equivalents if approved by voters this November.

I found this while researching something else related to the site and haven't seen it posted elsewhere so I thought it would be helpful to have here.

PSCA has post a new Integrated Range Schedule for 2023, but there's no new mission information.
It looks like it may be just because of a change from a PDF file to an XLSX file.
https://akaerospace.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/INTEGRATED-RANGE-SCHEDULE_2023.xlsx
I've attached both the XLSX file and an export to PDF thereof.
