WASHINGTON (AFP) – The US Federal Aviation Administration has given the green light for the world's first commercial spaceport, New Mexico authorities said Thursday.
The FAA granted Spaceport America a license for vertical and horizontal space launches following an environmental impact study, according to the New Mexico Space Authority (NMSA).
"These two governmental approvals are the next steps along the road to a fully operational commercial spaceport," said NMSA Executive Director Steven Landeene.

LAS CRUCES, N.M. (AP) - The New Mexico Spaceport Authority has selected Gerald Martin Construction Management of Albuquerque to oversee construction of the state’s spaceport north of Las Cruces.
Spaceport officials said Thursday that Gerald Martin’s team will include specialists familiar with aviation facilities, fire and emergency medical services facilities and aeronautics and rocket facilities.
Spaceport executive director Steve Landeene said officials reviewed applications from “many quality applicants” before selecting Gerald Martin.
Earlier this week, the Federal Aviation Administration finalized an environmental study of the spaceport and granted the Spaceport Authority a license for launching from the facility.
