A “weightless” astronaut. A satellite connecting a phone call from opposite sides of the world. Breathtaking images of astronomical phenomena from deep space. For all the amazing things that happen IN orbit, commercial space companies and government agencies alike depend on robust, high quality ground operations ON Earth. Enter the rise of the spaceport: a dedicated facility for launching and receiving space-bound missions. Without spaceports to support those flights, crew and cargo end up like Major Tom.
Please join Spaceport America and National Technology Alliance (NTA) as they discuss the role commercial spaceports play in the development and sustainment of the commercial space industry. Learn about the services offered at spaceports and how they can get your mission There and Back Again.
