Stardust 1.0, a rocket by BluShift Aerospace, completed a successful launch on Feb. 4, 2021. The rocket was launched from Loring Commerce Center in Northern Maine. The launch was Maine’s first commercial rocket launch and was powered by a bio-derived fuel that is “nearly carbon neutral,” according to reports, and can be obtained from most farms. Onboard, the contents of the rocket included experiments and customer payloads.
