LAUNCH SITE<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n

New Mexico<\/strong><\/h1>\n\n\n\n

Spaceport America, NM<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Located in the Jornada del Muerto desert basin in New Mexico, Spaceport America serves as TREL’s primary launch-site and home away from home. Every year, TREL engineers make the arduous 700-mile<\/strong> journey to New Mexico, rocket in tow. Launching Halycon would not be possible without the facilities offered by Spaceport America.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
