THE Scottish space industry has been "inspired" by the teams behind the Virgin Orbit launch despite its launch ending in failure, representatives have said.
The attempt to make British space history by launching a rocket into orbit from UK soil ended badly after suffering an “anomaly” during the flight.
After taking off from Cornwall on Monday night, the Virgin Orbit plane flew to 35,000ft over the Atlantic Ocean where it jettisoned the rocket containing nine small satellites towards space.
