Spaceport America

Ever imagine a day when you could design your own spaceport? What an incredible journey we are on as we witness the dawn of space travel for humanity. Spaceport America is the world's first purpose-built commercial spaceport and leverages the geographic advantages of southern New Mexico to reduce commercial aerospace program costs. The advantages include a FAA-licensed launch-site with access to 6,000 square miles of restricted airspace through collaboration with U.S. Army White Sands Missile Range; low population density; 340-plus days of annual sunshine; low humidity; and the nearly mile-high elevation and low latitude of the location. Spaceport America’s flexible fly/lease/build offering enables commercial space companies to literally design their own spaceport supported by 24/7 security, EMT and fire protection. Two of the largest and most respected companies in the commercial space industry are tenants at Spaceport America; Virgin Galactic and SpaceX.
