Skyrora

To increase access to space through sustainable launch services that enable our customers’ missions for life-changing results on Earth 

Skyrora is a UK launch vehicle provider with the environment at the forefront of its focus. Aiming to provide flexible sovereign launch capabilities to the UK through conducting the first ever vertical orbital launch from the UK, Skyrora seeks to fill a market gap to provide cost effective, sustainable access to space to customers globally.

Skyrora is rapidly approaching vertical orbital launch through the development of several innovative technologies, including an orbital transfer vehicle which can deorbit dangerous space debris and a rocket fuel derived from unrecyclable plastic waste.

The company is also taking an incremental learning approach to launch, developing four suborbital rockets to perform real-time testing of the avionics, ground control systems, payload deployment, and recovery systems of the vehicles in parallel with the development of their orbital rocket.
