Speaking in response to the latest announcement that Lockheed Martin has selected the rocket it will use to kick-start space launches from the island of Unst in Shetland, Beatrice Wishart MSP said:
“This is a welcome step in Shetland’s journey to being a spaceport and I am pleased that Unst has been chosen for this project. The isles are in an ideal geographical position for rocket launches, and the spaceport should have a long-term positive impact on Shetland’s economy.”
