NEXT SPACEFLIGHT

Conestoga 1

The Conestoga was a launch vehicle design funded by Space Services Inc. of America (SSIA) of Houston, Texas. Conestoga originally consisted of surplus LGM-30 Minuteman stages with additional strap-on boosters, as required for larger payloads. It was the world's first privately funded commercial rocket but was launched only three times (once as a modified design) before the program was shut down.
