Foster + Partners, the architecture, planning and workplace consultancy has released new pictures of the world’s first Spaceport in New Mexico, USA.

The 9,000m2 scheme, which was first revealed in September 2007 will become the new home for Richard Branson’s Virgin Galactic venture.

The spaceport will house a spaceship hangar and an astronaut terminal control room, and visitor facilities.

The low-lying building has been designed to blend into the desert landscape and minimise the impact on the historic El Camino Real mission trail nearby.

The New Mexico Space Authority (NMSA), has now tendered for contractors to build the centre.
