Spaceports

University of Massachusetts > STEM > Spaceports

Whether you're talking about privately owned and operated rockets to ferry cargo to low earth orbit, or the customers already in line for the opportunity to weightlessly gaze upon Earth from outer space, the "personal space flight revolution" will bring a new element of infrastructure to our communities: Spaceports. Building and operating these new launch facilities will require science, technology, engineering, math, imagination and problem solving skills.

Will Spaceports be for today's students what airports were for their great grandparents? Show your students this "101" on spaceports and find out what they think.

Watch the movie!
