    Launch Pad-0B is a launch complex at the Mid-Atlantic Regional Spaceport (MARS) on Wallops Island, VA.  LP-0B became operational in 1999 and was subsequently upgraded with the construction of a mobile service tower, which was completed in 2004. It is currently used by Minotaur rockets. The first launch from LP-0B was of a Minotaur I in December 2006 and was the first launch from MARS. Pad 0B was also used for the failed ALV X-1 suborbital flight in 2008.  A Minotaur I with TacSat-3 launched from the complex on May 19, 2009. Aboard a Minotaur V expendable launch vehicle, the Lunar Atmosphere Dust Environment Experiment – better known as LADEE – lifted off from Pad 0B at the Wallops Range Sept. 6, 2013.  Vector Space Systems announced on October 19, 2017 that their upcoming Vector-R rocket will be conducting three launches in the next two years, with an option for 5 additional launches, from pad 0B.

    GMB has provided engineering support services for Launch Pad-0B from 2008 to the present.  These projects have included:

    • Minotaur VI Feasibility Study for Gantry Extension
    • LADEE Lift Plans
    • Gantry LADEE Levels 1-5 Hinged Platform Modifications
    • Concrete Foundation Improvements
    • Structural Review of Chinook 800 Air Heater

    We recently finished the second of three projects for which GMB won the bids in the last four years.  I would like to thank Morgan Helfrich, Deane Townsend, and the entire GMB Team for their attention to detail, great communications skills, and mindfulness of budget. They are impressive to watch as they make great progress in the development of construction documents for our newest facility in Federalsburg. I look forward to the continued utilization of their knowledge, experience, and architectural skills to complete our Federalsburg project.  I highly recommend GMB to anyone contemplating a building or renovation project of any size.

    Town of St. Michaels, MD

    In 2020, GMB completed a DNR funded Harbor and Stormwater Infrastructure Study for the Town of St Michaels. This valuable study projected the flooding and sea level rise by 2050 and then identified at risk areas and associated mitigation strategies for our main harbor and adjacent infrastructure. This was the valuable foundation the Town Commissioners needed for their planning and developed community awareness and support. Building on this study, the Town of St Michaels created the Climate Change/ Sea Level Rise Commission to pursue grants to implement these mitigation plans. Thanks to GMB’s study, the Town has been successful in pursuing grant funding.

    GMB routinely deploys a highly efficient design team that places a high emphasis on problem-solving, client needs, and budget goals. Based on my past professional experiences with GMB, I would highly recommend this firm.

    Harper & Sons, Inc. 

    For over 35 years, our firm has appreciated the outstanding engineering and architecture that GMB can be trusted to deliver. Project after project, we have found their designs to be sound and thoughtful. We’ve experienced the same successful outcomes while executing design-build and traditional general contracted projects – a ‘nuts and bolts’ design approach with excellent constructability, functionality, and pleasing atheistic that benefit both the constructor and project owner. We highly recommend GMB for any commercial, institutional, or civil construction project.
