UPHAM, N.M. — Officials say Lockheed Martin successfully launched a test flight vehicle over the weekend at New Mexico’s spaceport.
Spaceport officials say the brief flight Saturday was not publicized in advance because Lockheed Martin is testing “proprietary advanced launch technologies.”
The launch was overseen by UP Aerospace, the third launch this year by the Highlands Ranch-based firm. The company plans to double its number of customer launches from Spaceport America to six or more in 2010 as demand increases.
