IMPORTANT MESSAGE FROM – Dave Pollard, Education and Outreach Manager at Spaceport Cornwall

Information about the #Countdown2Launch Broadcast

As many of you will have seen in the news over the last few days the historic first launch of satellites into space from the UK went perfectly… almost.

Sadly, the rocket suffered an anomaly late on Monday night after its release from Cosmic Girl, the carrier aircraft, which meant that the rocket and payloads did not make the orbit required to deploy.

Space is hard!

However, the #Countdown2Launch broadcast will still be going ahead, but with a new focus. One of resilience, hard work and trying not to be scared of failure. A really important message for everyone and especially students across the country.

The broadcast will still countdown to the launch sequence, sharing the developments taking place across the UK, highlighting information about how and why we use satellites, and will include a segment looking into routes into the sector. Then we will watch what we can of the launch sequence, culminating in the fact that LauncherOne did not make it to it’s required orbit this time around. Head of Spaceport Cornwall, Melissa Thorpe, will then share her insights into what happened, how this should not be seen as a failure, but a learning opportunity and how this is so relevant for students to understand throughout their studies and their life.

We hope that you will still be excited to tune into the broadcast.
