So, weather and technology permitting, tonight sees the first #launch of #satellites from UK soil from #Spaceport #Cornwall. The #VirginOrbit #LauncherOne rocket will be putting several #cubesats into orbit after riding under the wing of #CosmicGirl, a repurposed 747. If it works it will confirm the capability of "popup" launches that can happen from any major runway.

I'll be talking about it tomorrow morning live on #BBC #Breakfast from around 8am.

Any thoughts from the #Mastodon community?
