Eldorado Posted May 11, 2022 #1 Share Posted May 11, 2022 The first full-scale prototype of a rocket designed for launching small satellites from a Highlands spaceport has been unveiled. Forres-based Orbex said its final version of the 19m (62ft) long Prime rocket would be re-useable and powered by a renewable bio-fuel, bio-propane. The rockets will be launched from Space Hub Sutherland, which could be operational later this year. The prototype will undergo trials at a testing facility in Kinloss in Moray. A separate plan to launch satellites from a facility in Shetland has also taken a major step forward. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-highlands-islands-61379577 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
