Transporting people & cargo through space may start in Maine

Green 4 Maine is negotiating with HyperSpace Propulsion to make the former Loring Air Force Base their headquarters for their future SPACESTAR spaceplanes.

PORTLAND, MAINE, UNITED STATES, August 16, 2023/EINPresswire.com/ — Green 4 Maine is negotiating with HyperSpace Propulsion to make the former Loring Air Force Base their global Manufacturing, Operations and Flight Headquarters for SPACESTAR spaceplanes, capable of flying passengers or cargo up to six times per day, runway to runway, to any destination on earth in under two hours. For example: New York to Singapore will take 78 minutes instead of 18 hours; New York to Dubai will take 65 minutes instead of 14 hours.

With an agreement in place, HyperSpace Propulsion would become the lead tenant within Green 4 Maine’s National Aerospace and Space Complex Center, thus supporting revitalization of Northern Maine and the communities surrounding the former base. The first stage of developing SPACESTAR will be designing, testing, and manufacturing HYPERSMART, a hypersonic flight test demonstrator with potential defense applications.

This agreement would enhance the formation of the Maine Space Complex, a public-private partnership charged with building launch sites, data networks, and operations for sending small satellites into space.

Scott Hinkel, President of Green 4 Maine, is leading the discussions with Richard H. Lugg, CEO & Founder of HyperSpace Propulsion. Mr. Lugg is a serial entrepreneur and past aerospace and defense executive with over 35 years of experience in commercial and military aerospace programs. He has filed 32 patents on behalf of the Company protecting the technology for global space transport.
