Virgin Orbit issued licences ahead of Cornwall space launch - BBC News
The final remaining licences required for Virgin Orbit to launch from Spaceport Cornwall have been issued by the UK space regulator.
The Civil Aviation Authority has granted the launch operator and range control licences, which have been signed off by the Transport Secretary.
The CAA said it was “another major milestone” towards the first orbital space launch from UK soil.
A launch from the spaceport at Cornwall Airport Newquay is expected in January.

Switched our cable to a fibre provider, one of the channels is a NASA 4K one which has all sorts of goodness on it. After seeing a bunch of footage of the sun viewed by different wavelengths of the energy coming from it, I have more questions about our weather than I have answers.
