A private rocket development company has struck a deal that could allow for demonstration launches of its reusable suborbital spacecraft from Florida.

Masten Space Systems, a private aerospace company based in Mojave, Calif., announced a partnership with Space Florida today (Nov. 22) to explore the possibility of demonstration launches from Launch Complex 36 – a rocket launching pad at the Cape Canaveral Air Force Station in Florida.
