Oman’s first satellite ready for launch from UK spaceport – The National

Oman’s first satellite is ready to be launched from Cornwall, south-western UK.

Aman, a CubeSat that is to be used for environmental surveillance, is expected to enter low Earth orbit after it blasts off from Spaceport Cornwall this month.

The satellite was this week integrated with a spacecraft during work led by Virgin Orbit. The company's LauncherOne rocket will carry the device into orbit.
