What is Virgin Orbit? 

Virgin Orbit provides launch services for small satellites. It uses a modified, ex-Virgin Atlantic Boeing 747 called Cosmic Girl to take its rocket, LauncherOne, to launch altitude before it takes off for space. 

Virgin Orbit recently completed its fourth mission, Straight Up, and launched another seven satellites into space. 

Later this year, Virgin Orbit's magnificent aircraft — Cosmic Girl - will be launching the first satellites ever to take off from UK soil.

As a competition winner, you’ll get exclusive access to Spaceport Cornwall in the autumn, before Cosmic Girl takes to the skies. 

What is Spaceport Cornwall? 

Spaceport Cornwall’s ambition is to provide a safe, dedicated and responsible way to access space, capable of supporting small satellite launches and connecting people, businesses and ideas. It aims to be the most sustainable Spaceport in the world and to challenge the space launch industry to overhaul its practices. 

Based at Newquay Airport, Spaceport Cornwall is a council run organisation and is setting up an outreach programme to encourage young people in the area to get involved in opportunities to work in the space industry.

So, what are you waiting for? If this out of this world experience is fuelling your inner rocket, take our quiz to enter the competition to win.
