Conceptual plans for the world’s first tourist spaceport, designed by Foster + Partners, were unveiled.
Known as Spaceport America, the terminal and hangar facility in Upham, New Mexico, will be home to Richard Branson’s Virgin Galactic enterprise. It will operate a fleet of two transport airplanes and five spaceships designed by Burt Rutan. The design for Spaceport America includes a hangar for the spaceships, pre- and post-flight training facilities, mission control, viewing galleries, and passenger lounges.
