Colorado Springs - Apr 14, 2004 Beyond-Earth Enterprises, a Colorado Springs-based small payload sub-orbital launch company, announces MissionOne, the first space-related commercial product offerings geared toward the average American household. The MissionOne consumer-based launch will be in the Fall 2004. MissionOne allows a customer to send a small item, such as a photograph or other keepsake, to space and then be returned to the customer.
