To ask His Majesty's Government whether a UK-made rocket being launched from a licensed UK spaceport in 2026 is still a priority for the Government.
To ask His Majesty's Government whether a UK-made rocket being launched from a licensed UK spaceport in 2026 is still a priority for the Government.
The Government’s priority is to secure assured access to space for the United Kingdom.
The Government is supporting the development of an operational UK spaceport and a competitive launch market. SaxaVord Spaceport in Shetland is Europe’s first licensed vertical launch site and is expecting multiple launches in 2026.
We will work with launch companies that can meet our assured access objectives to develop reliable, secure, and commercially competitive access to space. We will also develop and strengthen existing partnerships with our NATO and European allies.
To ask His Majesty's Government whether they commissioned an audit of Orbex; if so, whether they will publish the results of that audit; and whether the Government provided support to Orbex to enable its Prime rocket to be launched from spaceports in the United Kingdom.
To ask His Majesty's Government whether they commissioned an audit of Orbex; if so, whether they will publish the results of that audit; and whether the Government provided support to Orbex to enable its Prime rocket to be launched from spaceports in the United Kingdom.
As with all Government investments, appropriate financial, technical and legal due diligence was undertaken before funding decisions were made. The Government does not routinely publish internal assurance or due diligence material, which is commercially sensitive.
The Government provided financial support to Orbex through a combination of direct investment and grant funding to support the development of its Prime launch vehicle.
