Media Invited to View UP Aerospace SpaceLoft 7 Launch for NASA, NASA ARC
“News media representatives are invited to witness the first research flight on a suborbital rocket funded by NASA’s Flight Opportunities Program when UP Aerospace Inc.’s SpaceLoft 7 vehicle lifts off June 21, 2013, at Spaceport America near Las Cruces, New Mexico. Liftoff is scheduled to occur between 6 and 9 a.m. PDT.
NASA has funded the flight for seven space-technology experiments to be flown in a space-relevant environment aboard the UP Aerospace sounding rocket. The sub-orbital flight is expected to provide up to four minutes of weightlessness for testing of the experiments. The flight is expected to last about 15 minutes and reach an altitude of 74 miles, with landing targeted about 320 miles downrange on the U.S. Army’s White Sands Missile Range.”
