Virgin Orbit: Richard Bransons' Rocket Firm Files For Bankruptcy
UK Prepares For First Space Launch From Cornish Airport
BBC News 9 NOV 2022
A small airport in Cornwall is about to make history - when it becomes the site of the very first space launch from the UK later this month.
A Virgin Orbit team is awaiting final clearance for the launch from Newquay which will send a batch of small satellites into space, including the first one built in Wales.
It's hoped this will become a turning point for the UK's space sector.
