The Government and the UK space sector have made significant steps towards developing a UK launch capability, with the establishment of a horizontal launch site at Spaceport Cornwall and two vertical launch sites: SaxaVord Spaceport on Unst in Shetland and Space Hub Sutherland. Although spaceports have taken different financing approaches, we commend the UK Space Agency (UKSA) for the funding it has provided for the establishment of spaceports and launch systems and recognise that the development of the UK space sector would not have been possible without these initial injections of public funding. Having said this, further investment may be required to ensure that the UK launch sector is successful and sustainable. The Government should continue to examine where further and continued funding may be required to secure the success of the UK launch industry.
