SaxaVord Spaceport on Unst has been given permission by the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) to clear and control the downrange zone during launches. It means the CAA is confident the spaceport can keep maritime and aviation traffic secure when rockets blast off from the site on the Shetland Islands.
Colin Macleod, head of space regulation at the CAA, said: SaxaVord's range license is vital to protecting public safety during launches. Our work is enabling the UK's expanding space sector and encouraging safety, sustainability and security of space activity.
