Virgin Galactic has chosen the spaceport in New Mexico as the site of future launches of its fleet of five SpaceShipTwo craft.
Dry weather reduces the possibility of corrosion and the high altitude makes reusable launch vehicles more cost-efficient in terms of the fuel needed to reach space.
Virgin will not be the only ones operating out of New Mexico: Starchaser Industries has also decided to manufacture and launch their craft there.
Dick Stafford of Rocket Dungeon has more on the New Mexico Spaceport.
