Space Experience Curacao (SXC) will wet lease a production version of the Lynx suborbital spacecraft from XCOR Aerospace, under a memorandum of understanding (MoU).

The MoU is subject to US Government approvals to station the vehicle on the island of Curacao in the Netherlands Antilles.

In January 2014, SXC will market, and XCOR operate, suborbital space tourism flights and scientific research missions from Spaceport Curacao.

Curacao has begun investigating the legal and regulatory framework necessary to enable a robust flight services industry on the island.

Curacao Airport Holding plans to invest in the spaceport infrastructure.

SXC has been selected by the Curacao Government and the airport holding company to create a robust suborbital space flight business focused on research missions, space tourism, and science and technology education.
