Shetland's Starry Rise: A New Era for British Spaceflight? The UK government has invested £30 million in SaxaVord Spaceport, Scotland's first fully licensed spaceport.
This significant investment is part of a broader £148m European initiative aimed at driving growth, strengthening security, and underpinning modern life with cutting edge technology.
SaxaVord's remote location on the island of Unst makes it an attractive choice for companies seeking to launch small commercial rockets.
