Our technology enables a very high performance launch vehicle, using a novel bioLPG fuel from @officialcalor & @PrimagasE that cuts CO2 emissions by 90% compared to traditional fuels, and we've created the world's largest 3D printed rocket engine with partner @SLMSolutions_NA

Excellent news this morning as the UK's new spaceflight regulations are released for consultation, and @UK_CAA takes over the role of regulator from @spacegovuk . Orbex has been closely engaged in this process and it is great to see this major step forward:

Lots of recent interest in Scottish launch locations, but there is only one site that tops commercial assessments: @SpaceSutherland , where Orbex is working with @HIEScotland and partners to create continental Europe's first orbital spaceport.

It's been a really busy week at Orbex HQ with some excellent progress on several major projects, including the launch vehicle and the three spaceports. The factory floor, meeting rooms and whiteboards have been humming with activity. Watch out for a big update later in the year.

. @beisgovuk : The UK builds more smallsats than any other European country. Orbex: "Soon there will be British rockets taking those satellites into orbit. This end-to-end capability is unique in Europe and will create a virtuous circle." RT @V3_co_uk .
