UP Aerospace’s SpaceLoft 7 Rocket Launches Flight Opportunities Program Payloads

A reusable suborbital rocket launched by UP Aerospace soared aloft from Spaceport America in New Mexico, carrying multiple technology payloads for NASA’s Space Technology Mission Directorate’s Flight Opportunities Program.
The SpaceLoft 7 suborbital flight June 21 provided about four minutes of micro gravity for testing of seven technology experiments in a space-relevant environment.
