Aero Pace Firm Extends Partnership With Spaceport America

ALBUQUERQUE (AP) – An aerospace firm that’s already launched two commercial payloads at New Mexico’s spaceport has signed a 10-year memorandum of understand to continue using the site.

UP Aerospace president Jerry Larson describes it as a handshake deal.

He says it’s not a contract, but reaffirms the Colorado company’s commitment to the New Mexico site.

UP Aerospace a year ago became the first company to successfully launch a suborbital flight from Spaceport America, the site the state is developing in Sierra County.
