Like probably lots of people there watching it. i am very excited about it, even though it's very late, i'm going to beg my mum to watch it because i'm really excited about it. and this is the rocket arriving in cornwall in october 2022. it will attempt to deliver satellites into orbit. if it succeeds, it will be the first time this has been done from british soil — marking the start of a push to make the uk space flight central. for the maiden mission, newquay airport has been transformed into spaceport cornwall, and melissa thorpe is running the show. well, it's been eight years ofjust rea...

Where we're seeing tremendous capability from these smaller satellites, they're often way back in the line for launch on one of these bigger vehicles. often they might be launched into an orbit, which isn't ideal for them because they're just the piggyback ride, so now is the time to develop a dedicated small satellite launch service, and that's exactly what we're 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 forge, which is based in cardiff in wales. their satellites are mi...

Go for take off. and there it goes, it's lift off for the plane. but this is just the beginning. the next step is to release the rocket and start a new era for uk space. godspeed voyager one. godspeed cosmic girl on this historic european and uk - mission to open space for everyone. an hour into the flight, the rocket fires its engines after being released from the plane. so far so good, but then this... it appears that launcher one has suffered an anomaly, which will prevent us from making orbit for this mission. a second engine burn had failed and the mission was over. all of the satellites ...

This is a prototype rocket. and as you can see, it's almost complete. and its launch will test the design, the manufacture and the technology to see if it works. if it does, the team will go bigger. over here are some of the components that will sit inside the larger rocket. it's called skyora xl, and these spheres are actually fuel tanks that will help it get into orbit. this is the nose cone that sits at the very top of the rocket. it's been undergoing testing to see if it can withstand the forces of a launch. that worked, but the team pushed it even further to see where its limits are to th...

To justice. the first attempt to launch a satellite from western europe reported an anomaly. it had left from a coastal town and south—west england carried under the wing of a modified boeing 747, in fact you can see that plain, it has already landed and it was earlier released over the atlantic ocean. virgin orbit had planned to deploy nine small satellites into low earth orbit and its first mission outside its united states base. it is unclear what caused the anomaly but we have heard this from the team. it but we have heard this from the team. . ,, . , . but we have heard this from the te...
