We were honored to join our friends from @spacecornwall and @spacegovuk to host Prime Minister @borisjohnsonuk, Secretary of Transport @grantshapps, and MP Steve Double today in Spaceport Cornwall, site of the #G7Summit. Together, we’re closer than ever to bringing launch to Britain.

During today’s half-hour visit, we had the opportunity to talk to the PM and the Secretary of Transport about how bringing LauncherOne to Spaceport Cornwall will help boost the UK’s incredible space industry, inspire the next generation, and enable vital environmental monitoring.
