Kinetic Energy Launches Planned for Spaceport America

SpinLaunch, a startup company that aims to electrify space launches, chose Spaceport America in New Mexico for its initial operations. Spaceport America announced that this would bring additional jobs to the region.

With its abundant sunshine and, in some areas, abundant wind, an electric launch system placed in southern New Mexico could greatly reduce the environmental and climatological impacts of space launches.
