The commercial Mid-Atlantic Regional Spaceport, operated by the Virginia Commercial Space Flight Authority under a NASA Space Act Agreement, is seeking to expand commercial space launch opportunities as the space shuttle program begins to end this year.
The first tests of the Taurus-2 booster is slated to launch to orbit later this year followed by cargo launched to the space station every six months through 2015 by Orbital Sciences Corporation. The spaceport is also in talks with Bigelow Aerospace about possible future human space flights starting from Wallops Island, Va.
