Cornwall space launch: Inside Cosmic Girl which will launch rocket into space from Newquay Airport
Cornwall will be the scene of the UK's first rocket launch tonight as Cosmic Girl sends LauncherOne into space. The Virgin Orbit plane is set to take off from Spaceport Cornwall, at Cornwall Newquay Airport, near St Mawgan, from 10.16pm. It is all part of the operation called Start Me Up - the first launch of Virgin Orbit’s LauncherOne rocket outside the USA. Cosmic Girl is a former Virgin Atlantic Boeing jumbo jet which has been transformed especially for the project. It will be carrying a rocket called LauncherOne under its wing. After the launch from Cornwall tonight (Monday, December 9), the rocket will send nine micro satellites into space.
