Spaceflight: Military Bases
- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, where the UK’s military spaceports will be based.
- Answer
-
Defence continues to work with partners across Government, including with the UK Space Agency, to fulfil the Government's ambition to become a meaningful space player. We are supporting the UK Space Agency's Spaceflight Programme which aims to establish commercial vertical and horizontal small satellite launch from UK spaceports from 2022. There is currently no plan for the Government to own any spaceports.
