A number of companies are working to become the first to launch satellites into space from European soil, with several planning on using #SaxaVord Spaceport. Germany’s
#RFA is thought to have the most advanced plans https://www.standard.co.uk/news/uk/lanarkshire-scottish-north-lanarkshire-iceland-european-b1211534.html
Starting in 2025, at least two #European
launch startups (#IsarAerospace and #RocketFactory Augsburg) expect to offer more choices for both institutional and commercial customers. The field will continue to widen toward the close of the decade, with #MaiaSpace, #Latitude, #HyImpulse, #HyPrSpace, #Orbex, #PLDSpace, and #Skyrora all working toward an inaugural flight of their respective vehicles. https://europeanspaceflight.com/arianegroup-already-working-to-secure-iris2-launch-contract

What happened to @Skyrora_Ltd ?
Is Spaceflight in Scotland
dead?
I caught up with the top dog at #Skyrora at #IAC2024 !
Let's find out!

The new #Ariane 6 rocket, which is running four years late and still hasn't flown, should be the last #LaunchVehicle developed by #ESA, which will launch a competition of #launchers without weight class limitations. The field of startup launch companies in #Europe
includes German
firms like #HyImpulse, #RocketFactory Augsburg, and #IsarAerospace; British
companies such as #Skyrora and #Orbex; and Spain's
#PLDSpace. #ESA will use around 75 million euros
to pay for the early stages of the #cargo
challenge, which #Aschbacher expects will result in three companies competing with one another https://arstechnica.com/space/2023/11/after-the-sting-of-ariane-6-europe-finally-embraces-commercial-rockets/

#PhysicsWorld "the official line from the #government
is that #SpaceLaunch facilities will be a boon to the #UK economy, swelling UK industry capitalization from £17 billion now to £40 billion
by 2030. One hurdle is #competition. There are around 168 #LaunchCompanies around the world
, at different stages of development. Even if many fall by the wayside the #LaunchMarket will inevitably become crowded, making it a challenge for UK #SpacePorts to compete.
#Skyrora uses #Ecosene, a premium kerosene derived from unrecyclable #plastic waste . #Orbex uses the renewable ultralow-carbon fuel #BioLPG. #ClearSpace and #Astroscale are designing missions to remove #SpaceDebris." https://physicsworld.com/a/uk-spaceports-the-good-the-bad-and-the-ugly

#Germany , #Italy
, and the #UnitedKingdom
(which is a member of the #ESA but not the #European Union) have started #microlaunch #companies that are building #rockets capable of lifting several hundred kilograms to #LEO.
These companies, including #IsarAerospace, #RocketFactory #Augsburg (#RFA), and #HyImpulse in Germany, #PLD Space in #Spain , and #Orbex and #Skyrora in #Britain, operate much more like the #US
