NASA Picks 7 Private Spaceships for Trips to Edge of Space
NASA yesterday announced the selection of seven companies to provide suborbital transport for experiments (basically, sounding rockets). They are:
- Armadillo Aerospace, based in Heath, Texas
- Near Space Corp., based in Tillamook, Ore.
- Masten Space Systems, based in Mojave, Calif.
- Up Aerospace Inc., based in Highlands Ranch, Colo.
- Virgin Galactic, based in Mojave, Calif.
- Whittinghill Aerospace LLC, based in Camarillo, Calif.
- XCOR, based in Mojave, Calif.
Good the see the smaller companies getting in on the action. Let’s hope that they don’t get corrupted…
