New Mexico Spaceport Open

by Mr. Flight on April 19th, 2006

The New Mexico Spaceport is now open and ready to support rocket and space flights. The state is currently reviewing proposals for the Southwest Regional Spaceport facilities such as launch pads, hangars, etc.

“Our 56-foot-tall launcher has now been craned onto the launch pad. It’s exciting to see the mobile launch facilities now in position. These major on-site milestones will allow us to execute our site-activation plan — culminating in the multiple space launches we have scheduled for this year,” said Eric Knight, Chief Executive Officer for UP Aerospace. “With all the major facilities now in place, we can begin to firm up our 2006 space-launch calendar.”
