FROM THE DIRECTOR

At a ceremony on-site at Spaceport America this afternoon, New Mexico Governor Susana Martinez signed into law the Informed Consent legislation. The new law provides expanded liability coverage to spacecraft manufacturers and suppliers, and preserves New Mexico’s leadership and competitive standing within the commercial space industry. We at NMSA are grateful to all those who made this milestone achievement possible. I am also pleased to unveil our three new emergency response vehicles this month. The Request for Proposals (RFP) for the third party development and lease back of the Visitor Center in Truth or Consequences, New Mexico and the Spaceport Central facility on-site should be available online shortly.
