From New Zealand to Oklahoma, USA: A rocket-powered spaceplane could soon be flying to the edge of space! 🚀
New Zealand-based Dawn Aerospace is expanding its U.S. operations, with construction underway on a $7.5 million facility at Infinity One Oklahoma Spaceport.
The company's reusable Aurora spaceplane is designed to take off from a conventional runway, travel more than three times the speed of sound and reach an altitude of 62 miles.
With flights planned to begin in 2027, Oklahoma could soon play a role in the next chapter of commercial spaceflight.
Here's a closer look at the aircraft, the international partnership and what's coming next ⬇️
