A British-built satellite will be onboard the first ever space launch from Spaceport Cornwall this year.
The Oxfordshire-built research satellite called DOVER from international engineering firm Rhea Group will be among satellites released into orbit by Virgin Orbit in the UK's first ever horizontal space launch.
The satellite has been built by Open Cosmos at the Harwell Space Cluster, Oxfordshire. The satellite will transmit a signal, specially designed by engineers at RHEA, to provide data from space that can be used to obtain a position or an accurate time.
