UP Aerospace’ SpaceLoft-6 rocket soars aloft from a Spaceport America launch pad in New Mexico carrying small DoD and NASA payloads. The NASA-developed Suborbital Flight Environment Monitor (SFEM) payload was flown as risk-reduction opportunity in preparation for a follow-on SpaceLoft-7 NASA mission in August 2012 to study atmospheric conditions such as temperature that the payloads encounter in a suborbital environment.April 5, 2012
