Ross Hulbert, head of engagement at Spaceport Cornwall, said the site was ready to support the testing, development and deployment of the UK’s future defences.
“This is a defining moment for Spaceport Cornwall and demonstrates our commitment to supporting Britain’s defence capabilities,” he said.
“Our unique position as the UK’s first licensed spaceport, combined with our world-class facilities and proximity to both civilian and military aviation infrastructure, makes us ideally suited to contribute to this vital national capability,” he said.
