Scotland plans rocket launch from UK’s first space port next year – The National

Scotland is on track to host the UK’s first space port, with its inaugural rocket launch scheduled for next year.

Small satellites would be carried into orbit from the Sutherland vertical launch site, aboard the Prime rocket being built by UK start-up company Orbex.

The announcement was made at Expo 2020 Dubai's UK pavilion on Wednesday.
