Virgin Orbit is about to conduct the first ever space launch from UK soil

The spaceflight company, a subsidiary of Richard Branson’s Virgin Group, is set to launch nine small satellites into Earth’s low orbit from a site in the southwest of England on Monday evening. It will also mark the first launch of commercial satellites from western Europe, and the first international launch for Virgin Orbit. Since January 2021, the American company has conducted four successful launches from the Mojave desert in California.

Among other things, they will be used for preventing illegal trafficking, smuggling and terrorism, the company said in Friday’s press release, as well as for reducing the environmental impact of production. The mission, named “Start Me Up” after the Rolling Stones’ 1981 song, is a joint venture between Virgin Orbit, the UK Space Agency, Cornwall’s local government and the UK’s Royal Air Force.
