A rocket carrying satellites for the Air Force and NASA is set to blast off Monday from the Virginia shore in the first launch from the mid-Atlantic region's commercial spaceport.
The site is one of only six federally licensed launch centers in the nation.
The Mid-Atlantic Regional Spaceport has three more launches scheduled for 2007 and eventually could send supplies to the international space station or even tourists into space, said director Billie Reed.

The launch should be a great view in the Monday morning pre-dawn on the East Coast.
Virginians need to build an advocacy group to humanize the Mid-Atlantic Regional Spaceport to encouarge suborbital space flight participate firms and NASA COTS orbital firms to locate there.
