About Space Command

  • More than 140 uniformed and civilian personnel were working at Redstone in September 2026, with about 200 expected by the end of 2026 and about half of headquarters staff by the end of 2028. (Alabama Reflector, Sep 2026)
  • Groundbreaking on the permanent headquarters is planned for 2027, with completion around 2031. (Alabama Reflector, Sep 2026)
  • Intelligence operations were already underway at the interim Alabama headquarters in August 2026. (Defense One, Aug 2026)

The permanent headquarters site has not been built yet, and interim space is on the Arsenal. Until your building is set, Gate 9 (open around the clock) is the safest commute to plan around.

How We Estimate Drive Times

Routed ZIP and area times, adjusted for where each neighborhood sits

We start from routed drive times we already publish on the commute times page: no-traffic times along real roads from each ZIP code and each area of town. Each neighborhood then gets its ZIP or area time plus a small correction for how much closer or farther it sits than the middle of that ZIP (about 1.1 minutes per kilometer, fitted on the routed times). Times run to the nearest public gate and to Gate 9. Where we have no routed time for a workplace, we use the nearest routed point within about 2.5 miles, or a straight-line formula fitted on the routed times (typical error 4 minutes).

These are estimates, not a promise. Rush hour on I-565, Memorial Parkway and the roads into Redstone Arsenal can add 10 minutes or more, and your parking lot or building adds a few. Drive it at your real commute time before you buy.

Which Redstone Gate to Use

Space Command is on Redstone Arsenal, so the gate you use matters as much as the neighborhood. Gate 9 on Rideout Road is the main gate and the one open around the clock; the other gates keep shorter hours and some close on weekends. Check current hours on the garrison visitor page before you count on one.
