UPHAM, N.M. (AP) – New Mexico’s commercial spaceport is unveiling a new look and a new website in time for the Fourth of July holiday.
New Mexico Spaceport Authority Executive Director Christine Anderson says the effort is aimed at introducing Spaceport America to the world.
The new logo features a pair of blue and red shapes that are meant to symbolize two stars coming together and the collaboration behind man’s reach into space.
The taxpayer-financed spaceport is the world’s first terminal, hangar and runway built specifically for commercial space travel.
Virgin Galactic, its anchor tenant, plans to offer suborbital flights to paying customers.
The Spaceport Operations Center is also one step closer to being complete.
Officials say design of the interior is under way and work will begin by the end of the year.
