New update for Those interested. Virgin Orbit has failed to find a buyer and is now officially selling all of its assets and permanently ceasing all operations. No luck for the new satellite launching method in this situation.
This is sad news for the UK Space Industry, but I'm confident that micro launch systems will be going head across the UK. This won't be the end of Spaceport Cornwall either, I bet.
The old "sling it under a 747" is not going to cut it these days.
