How about a Space Port!

12 Dec 2025

Geographically advantageous, the UK’s long coastline and island location make it unique in easily hosting different types of launch services. Scotland is the best place in the UK to reach in-demand satellite orbits with vertically launched rockets. Spaceplanes and other space transportation can be launched at several aerodromes around the UK, each with their own individual geography and local infrastructure.

The UK wants to further develop its space sector by encouraging more businesses, researchers, and innovators to come here, and supporting access for UK-based companies to international markets.

The country’s thriving professional services can support space companies from startups to large primes throughout their lifecycle, from partner nations all around the world in a variety of sub-sectors.
