      After two years of explosions, crash-landings and delays the quest to launch the first spacecraft into orbit from British soil is back on, with a rocket set to blast off from Shetland this year.

      The UK Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) granted a launch licence on Thursday to Rocket Factory Augsburg (RFA), the German rocket company, in what the regulator described as a “historic milestone”

      Paywall.

      And also – „vertical launch rocket“. Quality journalism that.

      Nope. Black Arrow was a UK rocket, even if it launched in Australia.

      > Britain aims to beat Norway and Sweden to the first orbital launch on European soil

      Too late. The Soviets/Russians have launched plenty of times from Plesetsk.
