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.

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.

'It's really happening': tears of joy as space mission nears Cornwall launch
Touchdown in Newquay of 747 converted to carry satellite-propelling rocket silences even the most hardened doubters.
The notion of a space mission being launched from a nondescript corner of a Cornish airport - next to the bus depot actually - has attracted its fair share of scepticism over the years.
But the impressive touchdown in north Cornwall this week of a Boeing 747 converted to carry a rocket primed to propel satellites into space may have silenced even the most hardened doubters.
Within a few weeks the 747 is due to take off from Spaceport Cornwall, soar to 35,000ft and release the rocket that will whiz nine satellites into orbit - the first satellite launch from UK soil.
Virgin Orbit crew members including launch engineer Dayle Alexander (centre) are interviewed in front of an aircraft named 'Cosmic Girl' which has arrived at Newquay Airport in Cornwall ahead of its upcoming mission from Cornwall Spaceport. Operated by Virgin Orbit, the Boeing 747 will be fitted with a special rocket beneath its wing which will launch an array of satellites into space. The first mission from UK soil is expected to be in early November 2022.

But the impressive touchdown in north Cornwall this week of a Boeing 747 converted to carry a rocket primed to propel satellites into space may have silenced even the most hardened doubters.
Within a few weeks the 747 is due to take off from Spaceport Cornwall, soar to 35,000ft and release the rocket that will whiz nine satellites into orbit - the first satellite launch from UK soil.

Operated by Virgin Orbit, the Boeing 747 will be fitted with a special rocket beneath its wing which will launch an array of satellites into space. The first mission from UK soil is expected to be in early November 2022.
