Really interesting afternoon with @orbexspace and @CarinneDYWMoray. We found out about Start Up Companies and the pupils discussed and pitched product ideas and marketing strategies. Thanks so much for having us.

Huge thanks to Francesca and Penny at @orbexspace for hosting workplace visit today for @forresacademy1 pupils! 🔭🚀
During the session, pupils heard all about the work Orbex do and were tasked with coming up with some innovative ideas for their online store! 💻

Launcher companies like @orbexspace represent exactly what we need in Europe: diversified launch options, new job creation and a boost for our space economy. This is the way towards granting European access to space. Was a great visit!

Another step forward for our ambitions to become a modern, space-faring nation, with UK company @orbexspace building a rocket test facility in Scotland. 🏴
We welcome the news as we look ahead to the first satellite launches from UK soil next year. 🚀

As we are heading for #COP26 , let's have a look at the environmental impact of #spaceflight. Can #biofuels make spaceflight cleaner? Two U.K. start-ups think so. @Skyrora_Ltd @orbexspace

When we say that @SpaceSutherland will be the world's first carbon neutral spaceport, we mean it. But that's not the only way it's green. This video provides a great explanation of how it'll be as an environmentally sensitive as possible.

Space Hub Sutherland cleared for UK Pathfinder launch after the Scottish Land Court gave the green light to the development of the Space Hub in Sutherland.
The court ruled that it was in the public interest for the development to go ahead.

We’re pleased to announce that a Judicial Review has given the go-ahead for Scotland’s first carbon-neutral spaceport, in Sutherland, pending the Land Court decision. We hope work can soon begin on @SpaceSutherland, and hopefully we’ll see rockets launching from our land in 2022.

Another huge step for @SpaceSutherland and the government’s vision for the UK to be at the global forefront of sustainable small satellite launch. 🚀

Warmly welcome today’s ruling by the Court of Session to uphold our planning consent for @SpaceSutherland. Today’s decision is great news for the local community, Highlands & Islands and the UK Space Sector. #WorldsGreenestSpaceport #ScotlandIsNow

The UK Civil Aviation Authority has today become the UK’s space regulator.
From today, we are open for business to any UK or international company that wants to operate under a UK space licence.

Great to see Sutherland making space headlines, as the pilot of the weekend's Virgin Galactic flight, David Mackay, became the first Scot in space. Did you know he was at school with some of the MCE team?

En route to Scotland to visit @orbexspace @SpaceSutherland and @Shetland_Space - my first civair flight in 18months, and the weather is awful. #peasouper

There is a drive for high tech space jobs on the northern coast of Scotland but it is dividing these remote communities. Some say the need for investment is at odds with maintaining biodiversity.
