First Rocket Powered By Biofuel To Launch From Maine This Weekend
After a weather delay, a first in rocketry will take off from northern Maine this weekend.
A rocket powered by biofuel will launch from Loring Commerce Centre, in Limestone. It will be the first rocket in the world to be launched using bio-derived fuel, and Maine s first commercial rocket launch. The take-off was set for Jan. 15, but was delayed and eventually scrubbed due to weather. Now it looks like Sunday, Jan. 31 is marked for a new attempt at liftoff. The launch is scheduled for 10 a.m., with the livestream beginning at 9 a.m.
