Motion text
That this House welcomes the announcement by Shetland’s SaxaVord UK Spaceport of their launch operations partnership with RFA Space; notes that the company’s first launch is currently planned for the end of 2023; understands that if successful, this could represent the first vertical space launch from a UK site, taking place from the northernmost point in the UK; believes that the sort of skilled jobs created by companies like Saxavord and others are vital to the future of rural and island communities; and wishes both companies every success with the launch.
