SpinLaunch announces expansion at Spaceport America, to hire 59 more workers [Las Cruces Sun-News, N.M.]
SPACEPORT AMERICA — A company developing and testing a mass accelerator with the aim of launching satellites into space orbit — using kinetic energy instead of rockets — is expanding at New Mexico’s Spaceport America, Cabinet Secretary Alicia J. Keyes announced Tuesday.
SpinLaunch signed a lease at Spaceport America in 2019 and has since invested in test facilities and an integration facility. The company is now set to hire an additional 59 highly paid workers and complete the build of its suborbital centrifugal launch system for its next phase of development, according to EDD.
