"1st Portuguese spaceport could soon emerge as nation grants license for launch center in the Azores" by @Spacecom - Europe has been looking for more launch sites that allow launching eastward without going over populated areas. The Portuguese government licensed a joint venture of small aerospace companies to try in the Azores. Suborbital launches maybe in 2026. Orbital launch attempt no earlier than 2027. Best of luck to them. https://www.space.com/space-exploration/1st-portuguese-spaceport-could-soon-emerge-as-nation-grants-license-for-launch-center-in-the-azores-photos #NewSpace #Europe #space #business
