Representatives for a Maine company that plans to send small satellites into space from the Northeast’s most rural state say they hope to start launches next year.

BluShift Aerospace prepares a test launch, Jan. 31, 2021, at the former Loring Air Force Base in Limestone, Maine. Currently the company is working toward its next suborbital launch and plans to expand into the orbital and small satellite services markets in the future.
