New Mexico Administrative Code › Title 18 - TRANSPORTATION AND HIGHWAYS › Chapter 61 - SPACEPORTS › Part 2 - NON-AEROSPACE CUSTOMER, PARTNER AND MERCHANDISE SELECTION › Section 18.61.2.6 - OBJECTIVE

Current through Register Vol. 35, No. 13, July 16, 2024
The objective of this rule is to establish a procedure and
				  criteria for assessing and selecting non-aerospace customers, partners and
				  merchandise that are consistent with the spaceport America's business plan for
				  attracting new non-aerospace customers and developing branding and co-branding
				  partners while promoting educational involvement for the citizens of New Mexico
				  and the general public. While spaceport America's primary business is aerospace
				  with a focus on space, the spaceport America business plan also provides for
				  growing non-aerospace business to augment revenue from the emerging commercial
				  space industry in order to become self-sustaining and contribute to economic
				  development in the state. In order to grow non-aerospace business, particular
				  attention must be given to selecting customers, branding and co-branding
				  partners and merchandise that are compatible with the SPACEPORT AMERICA®
				  brand which emphasizes innovation, inspiration and the positive future of
				  commercial space travel. By establishing the procedures and criteria contained
				  in this rule, the New Mexico spaceport authority seeks to define and describe
				  its approach for determining if potential non-aerospace customers, partners or
				  merchandise advance an appropriate brand and business strategy to grow brand
				  equity value, preserve the integrity of the SPACEPORT AMERICA® brand and
				  attract appropriate business opportunities to the state. As the SPACEPORT
				  AMERICA® brand value/equity increases, it will be able to attract
				  additional high value brands to engage with spaceport America and New Mexico
				  across a number of diverse business segments, which translates into millions of
				  dollars' worth of positive earned media value and brand equity for the state
				  and its citizens. Not only does such a strategy result in immediate revenue, it
				  also provides positive free advertising in markets that will attract more
				  customers.
