UK SPACEPORT Unveiled by UK Space Agency (UKSA)
Lockheed Martin and Orbex are investing in space launch operations and bringing innovative new technology to Britain.
Under the plans, Lockheed Martin and Orbex will launch rockets into space from the north coast of Scotland.
Business Secretary Greg Clark said:
“As a nation of innovators and entrepreneurs, we want Britain to be the first place in mainland Europe to launch satellites as part of our Industrial Strategy. The UK’s thriving space industry, research community and aerospace supply chain put the UK in a leading position to develop both vertical and horizontal launch sites."
