UK rocket launch: space chiefs plan to try again
UK Space Agency and Spaceport Cornwall say they will attempt second mission within a year.
UK space chiefs said they would try again to send satellites into space from British soil within a year despite the devastating failure of a historic first mission from Cornwall.
But they accepted the fate of the rocket loaded with nine satellites, which was lost after "a technical failure" while travelling at more than 11,000mph (17,700km/h) as it approached its final orbit, could undermine confidence.
Virgin Orbit, which launched the mission from Spaceport Cornwall, said in the early hours of Tuesday it would "tirelessly" investigate what had caused the failure.

The rocket, which was suspended beneath the wing of a 747 plane, should have fired satellites into space, but it suffered a second stage anomaly and the mission failed.

UK rocket launch: space chiefs plan to try again
UK Space Agency and Spaceport Cornwall say they will attempt second mission within a year.
UK space chiefs said they would try again to send satellites into space from British soil within a year despite the devastating failure of a historic first mission from Cornwall.
But they accepted the fate of the rocket loaded with nine satellites, which was lost after "a technical failure" while travelling at more than 11,000mph (17,700km/h) as it approached its final orbit, could undermine confidence.
Virgin Orbit, which launched the mission from Spaceport Cornwall, said in the early hours of Tuesday it would "tirelessly" investigate what had caused the failure.

UK rocket launch: space chiefs plan to try again
UK Space Agency and Spaceport Cornwall say they will attempt second mission within a year.
UK space chiefs said they would try again to send satellites into space from British soil within a year despite the devastating failure of a historic first mission from Cornwall.
