UK government plans to build a spaceport

Members of the British Parliament are considering building the first space center in the country. In early February, they began to create a fund, the purpose of which is to support private space companies, and now the authorities are preparing a bill according to which, within three years, the appropriate infrastructure will be established in the UK

The UK space agency is going to develop new regulations for the regulation and financing of the industry, which will allow it to build its own space center by 2020. It is assumed that in three years, the country will create its own launch pad, allowing satellites and manned spacecrafts to be launched into space for scientific experiments.

Tech times informs that the UK is interested in the prospect of using mini-satellites, which can be launched into space without great expenses and problems. Practically any private company can afford small spacecraft, which means that if there is an appropriate infrastructure, a large number of applicants will be able to conduct space research.
