Orbex Wins Launch Contract With D-Orbit Fresh off the UK Funding Boost Orbex has won a new contract with D-Orbit for two launches aboard Orbex Prime, the company’s micro-launcher, over the course of the next three years.

Orbex has won a new contract with D-Orbit for two launches aboard Orbex Prime, the company’s micro-launcher, over the course of the next three years. Orbex announced the deal, Feb. 3. Financial terms of the deal were not disclosed.

#orbex #d-orbit #prime #SaxaVord #Shetland 🇬🇧

Scottish Rocket Firm #Orbex has decided to scrap plans to launch from the "UK Spaceport" in Sutherland, in favour of a contract with another Scottish space firm, #Saxovord Space Centre in Shetland. To my mind, this shows how the UK Spaceport is mismanaged & badly sited by the British state.

Rocket firm 'pauses' plan for Highland spaceport in Sutherland Orbex announces it will instead launch its first rockets from SaxaVord in Shetland.

Orbex announced it will "pause" construction of a spaceport in Sutherland to focus its launch efforts on Shetland instead. The company now aims to launch its first rockets from SaxaVord Spaceport.
