After its dedication last month, Spaceport America is looking forward to a successful first few years. Though facilities are still being constructed, everything is on schedule, and the huge runway that will support Virgin Galactic's WhiteKnightTwo is complete. The runway will also be able to be used by a wide variety of other large aircraft.
While VG is seen as the lead customer of SA, other aerospace firms are also either using it already or planning to use it. Lochheed Martin is one of them, but others include Armadillo Aerospace and UP Aerospace. SA, therefore, could well begin operations with a fairly solid customer base.
Those operations will likely officially begin sometime next year.
