Lift-off for construction at Scottish Spaceport

Construction has started at Sutherland Spaceport on the North coast of Scotland after rocket manufacturer Orbex secured a £14.6m funding deal.

Consultant Jacobs is overseeing construction work on the scheme which will become the first carbon-neutral spaceport in the world duri
