The flight is operated by Virgin Orbit, one of British billionaire Richard Branson’s space companies. The businessman has also been offering tourist space flights since 2021.
Hopefully, it will be the first satellite launch from UK soil and the first time the satellites have been launched into orbit from Western Europe. Until now, most of Europe’s space missions have been launched from the Kourou launch pad in French Guiana or Baikonur in Kazakhstan.
Tonight’s mission is called “Start Me Up,” after the Rolling Stones’ 1981 hit, which Virgin Orbit says symbolizes the start of a new space age.
