A rocket was built here and tested in the isle of wight before being taken to australia and eventually launching a british satellite into space. but with growing costs, the programme was scrapped. the government decided it was cheaper to use american rockets instead. while home—grown launches hit the pause button, the production of british satellites grew, but over time, their size has shrunk. so we absolutely knock it out of the park when it comes to small satellite manufacturer. weve already...

Europe, and they have a key role to play. they can unlock this problem if they agreed to allow their leopard ii tanks and other countriess leopard ii tanks to get involved. because lets face it, the positions of russia and ukraine, as far as negotiations are concerned, are irreconcilable. sadly we have to believe that this war will be concluded on the battlefield, and to do that in ukraines battlefield, they need maximum support from the west— that means armour and land manoeuvre capability th...

Poor equipment to are not of the calibre or quality that would be able to make a significant offensive successful and break through the ukrainian lines. its when the russians have failed in their offensive that the ukrainians will have the best moment to launch a counter offensive. they must be ready for that, and thats their best moment to attack, when the russians have spent themselves, then the ukrainians counter attack with the ukrainians counter attack with the armour capability we absolute...

You will not become a global space player by investing in r&d alone. there has to be some kind of government commitment to our ongoing operational capability. i dont mean fully covering the costs, but we need to think a little bit creatively, industry and government working togetherjust to get us off the ground here. back at spaceport cornwall. on a cold january night, the final preparations are under way for the launch. the plane and rocket are ready to go. 2,000 people have come to watch what ...

Capability from these smaller satellites, theyre often way back in the line for launch on one of these bigger vehicles. often they might be launched into an orbit, which isnt ideal for them because theyre just the piggyback ride, so now is the time to develop a dedicated small satellite launch service, and thats exactly what were going to have in the uk. and this unassuming box is one of the small satellites heading into space on this first launch. it belongs to a start up company called space f...

The uk government says it wants to push the sector and is investing in research and development. but dr alice says to really give the industry a boost, its going to need more sustained support. the government has been really clear in its ambition that it wants to be a global space player. you will not become a global space player by investing in r&d alone. there has to be some kind of government commitment to our ongoing operational capability. i dont mean fully covering the costs, but we need t...

In small satellite manufacture. and satellites are used in almost all aspects of modern life, from communications to navigation to weather forecasting and crucially, monitoring climate change from above. but until now, british ones were shipped abroad to get into space. where were seeing tremendous capability from these smaller satellites, theyre often way back in the line for launch on one of these bigger vehicles. often they might be launched into an orbit, which isnt ideal for them because th...

Were really proud of, but something we want to look at how do we make it more efficient going forward and share the lessons learned. but the uks been here before. 50 years ago, britain saw the space sector as a big opportunity and started a programme called black arrow. a rocket was built here and tested in the isle of wight before being taken to australia and eventually launching a british satellite into space. but with growing costs, the programme was scrapped. the government decided it was ch...
