Question to the Department for Science, Innovation & Technology:
To ask the Secretary of State for Science, Innovation and Technology, what assessment her Department has made of the commercial viability of space launches from the UK.
This question was answered on 7th March 2024
Due to the support Government has given to the sector, we are already seeing a commercial market for UK launch start to develop, with commercial launch operators planning multiple launches from Scotland over the coming years.
The UK Space Agency is currently developing the next phase of the Spaceflight programme to continue supporting our launch capabilities and ensure the UK has a leading launch industry in Europe.
