At that time Cornwall Airport Newquay was the fastest growing regional airport in the country but had no knowledge of space launch. In 2022 Spaceport Cornwall will deliver the UK\u2019s historic first sovereign orbital launch when Virgin Orbit launches from Newquay. Hear an update from Spaceport Cornwall Business Development Manager Ross Hulbert, on how Cornwall got here, plans for the UK\u2019s \u2018Year of Launch\u2019 and why offering launch services from the UK for the first time is important for the economy, society, and will inspire the next generation of space and tech entrepreneurs.\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\"><strong>The Speaker<\/strong>: Ross is responsible for generating new business opportunities and partnerships for Spaceport Cornwall, the UK\u2019s horizontal satellite launch site. The site will achieve the UK\u2019s historic first sovereign orbital launch when partner Virgin Orbit launches from Newquay in 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Tickets just \u00a33.00 pp at <a href=\"https:\/\/cornwallspaceport.eventbrite.co.uk\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">https:\/\/cornwallspaceport.eventbrite.co.uk<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.gospacewatch.co.uk\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">www.gospacewatch.co.uk<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Countdown to Launch \u2013 How Spaceport Cornwall and Virgin Orbit will deliver the UK\u2019s historic first sovereign launch in 2022 by Ross Hulbert of Spaceport Cornwall 24th November 2021 at 7:30pm UK Synopsis: In 2016 the UK government started a process to identify suitable sites in the UK to become a spaceport.
