Spaceport America, will be hosting an open house event free to the public on Saturday, April 2, 2016.
Spaceport America and Virgin Galactic crewmembers are looking forward to sharing an inside view into the world’s first purpose-built commercial spaceport with friends, neighbors and space enthusiasts from New Mexico and afar. The program includes hands-on fun and educational activities and demonstrations at the horizontal launch area. There will also be a raffle for some guests to tour the Spaceport America Experience and ride the G-shock simulator.
Aviators from New Mexico Chapters of the Experimental Aircraft Association and the New Mexico Pilots Association will also be participating in a fly-in so that guests will be able to engage with the pilots and their aircraft during the Open House.
