===Mojave Air and Space Port===
On November 20, 2012, the EKAD Board of Directors voted to change the name of the district to the Mojave Air and Space Port. Officials said that the spaceport name is well known around the world, but EKAD is not. The change took effect on January 1, 2013.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.parabolicarc.com/2012/11/23/mojave-spaceport-governing-district-changes-its-name/ |title=Mojave Spaceport Governing District Changes Its Name |work=Douglas Messier |date=23 November 2012 |access-date=July 3, 2015 }}</ref>

The airport is now the home of various aerospace companies and institutions such as [[Scaled Composites]] and the civilian [[National Test Pilot School]]. The town was home to the [[Rutan Voyager]], the first aircraft to fly around the world nonstop and unrefueled. The airport is also the first inland [[spaceport]] in the United States, and was the location of the first [[private spaceflight]], the launch of [[SpaceShipOne]] on June 21, 2004.

Mojave also has a Mojave Transportation Museum.
