The facility was intended to provide students and faculty access to RF technologies widely used in spaceflight operations, including satellite and spacecraft tracking.
As of 2023, the main STARGATE facility has been leased to SpaceX for use in development of the SpaceX Starship, but other STARGATE assets continue to operate at other locations, primarily UTRGV's main campus in Brownsville.[1]
