Thanks to whoever spent the time to give Orbex a Wikipedia entry, but some of the information is out of date: we employ more than 40 people now, and we are actively hiring more in GNC, structures, avionics, propulsion, project management and finance roles. https://t.co/VZL0OfyS0V

I had a nice chat with the CEO of @orbexspace not too long ago. Have read of how this company is quietly trying to launch the UK's first rocket since 1971. https://t.co/atn5nL2swA

Pleased to be attending event with Scottish Government at Scotland House, London talking about all things space.

[Orbex Space @orbexspace]

Why Orbex's novel fuel & tank architecture are so important: "For a rocket launch to be economically viable, the ratio of the weight of the payload to the rocket’s fuel & structure needs to be above a certain level. This makes small launches tricky." https://t.co/eL19sH8Ak1

Good to hear of commitment from @scotgov from Ivan McKee, Minister for Trade, Investment and Innovation to #Sutherland spaceport at business breakfast.
