Scientific Lightning Solutions (SLS), a specialty manufacturer of lightning protection equipment and components, recently purchased a 3-acre site in Titusville’s Spaceport Commerce Park for the construction of a 15,000 sq. ft. production and fabrication facility, including a 3,000 sq. ft. laboratory and engineering center for the development and testing of news technologies in the lightning protection field. The Titusville project is expected to cost more than $3 million, and result in the creation of more than 15 new jobs over the next several years.
SLS, which began operations in 2014, is a nationwide and global leader in lightning science, protection, and engineering. It designs, makes, and installs systems to protect buildings and equipment from damage caused by electrical storms, particularly those containing large open ground spaces, such as airports, seaports, and yes, spaceports. In addition to servicing the multiple launch pads at nearby NASA’s Kennedy Space Center and the Cape Canaveral Space Force Station, the company works with federally designated spaceports and operational sites under the purview of the U.S. Department of Defense.
