"Orbex said it wanted to shift its focus from building the site in Sutherland to developing small and medium-sized rockets. It now aims to launch its first rockets from the SaxaVord Spaceport in Shetland."
"This decision will help us to reach first launch in 2025 and provides SaxaVord with another customer to further strengthen its commercial proposition," Orbex chief executive officer Phil Chambers.
"Orbex had planned to carry out its first launch from the carbon neutral spaceport next year, using a 19-metre-long rocket powered by liquefied petroleum gas (LPG)."
