UK Join The Space Race

Did you see the recent announcement at the Farnborough Airshow?

Orbex has gained £30m in funding to enable them to set up the first Space Port in Sutherland Scotland.

There was a bit of a media frenzy but we managed to elbow the BBC, ITV, Channel 4 etc. out of the way and we had a quick chat with Chris Larmour, the CEO of Orbex to find out more.

Whilst we won’t be on the first flight, we will do our best to be there to see the takeoff – scheduled for 2021.
