Okla. Stat. tit. 3, § 3-521

Compensation.

A. The Oklahoma Space Industry Development Authority is hereby

authorized and empowered to acquire by purchase, or condemnation,

real property and such interest therein as may be necessary in its

determination for the purpose of establishing, constructing,

maintaining, or operating a spaceport and spaceport facilities, upon

such terms and at such price as may be considered by the Authority

to be reasonable and can be agreed upon between the Authority and

the owner of the land. The Authority shall take title to the

property in its name; provided, however, such right and title shall

be limited to the surface rights only and shall not include oil or

other mineral rights.

B. 1. The Authority shall not acquire through the power of

condemnation a total area of real property for purposes of

establishing a spaceport in excess of twenty-five (25) acres. The

total acreage acquired by the Authority pursuant to the power of

condemnation shall be specifically identified in the records of the

Authority and the Authority shall maintain a separate record of such

acreage open to public inspection. If the Authority attempts to

acquire an area through the power of condemnation that would exceed

the acreage limit provided by this subsection, the proceeding for

Oklahoma Statutes - Title 3. Aircraft and Airports Page 135

such acquisition shall be subject to an order for a temporary

injunction which may be issued ex parte. Upon an adequate showing

of proof, the Authority shall be permanently enjoined from acquiring

real property pursuant to its powers of condemnation if the

acquisition would exceed the maximum acreage authorized by this

subsection.

2. Except in instances where there are nonresident owners,

unknown heirs, imperfect titles, and owners whose whereabouts cannot

be ascertained with reasonable diligence, the Oklahoma Space

Industry Development Authority shall give the owner an opportunity

to sell the necessary real property or interests therein to the

Authority before exercising the power of condemnation.

3. In cases where the Authority exercises the power of

condemnation, the Authority shall be governed by the provisions of

Section 1708 of Title 69 of the Oklahoma Statutes.

C. The Authority shall pay compensation to the owners of any

and all real property located wholly or partially within the area

required to be evacuated for the launch of any vehicle from

spaceport territory for the economic value of the lost value of the

beneficial use of such property as a result of requirements imposed

by the Authority pursuant to its powers for the establishment,

maintenance and safe operation of a spaceport or spaceport facility.

Compensation for such economic value shall be made according to the

requirements of Section 24 of Article 2 of the Constitution of the

State of Oklahoma.
