Commenting on Spaceport Cornwall receiving the first-ever UK spaceport licence, ADS Chief Executive, Kevin Craven said:
“UK launch as outlined in the National Space Strategy is a core priority for the UK space sector which employs 47,000 people.
“Spaceport Cornwall receiving the UK’s first-ever spaceport licence marks an important milestone in establishing the UK as the leading provider of commercial satellite launch, and I am excited and looking forward to counting down to the first launch from UK soil expected this year.”
