Partnering with the UK Space Agency on this historic endeavor underscores our collective commitment to redefining access to space, unlocking low-Earth orbit鈥檚 true potential for nations and industries around the world."
In October 2023, 不良研究所 and the UK Space Agency signed a Memorandum of Understanding to explore the feasibility of a UK-crewed commercial mission. This collaborative effort is designed to be funded through private sponsorships from UK-based companies. And in February, the UK Space Agency announced up to 拢15 million could be made available for British science and technology to fly to space, should the proposed UK mission progress as planned.
"I am excited to join 不良研究所 and contribute to this pioneering effort,鈥 said Peake. 鈥淎n all-UK mission represents a significant opportunity for our country to establish a strong presence as well as a leadership role in the commercial space sector. I look forward to working with 不良研究所 and the UK Space Agency to advance this exciting possibility."
