SKYLARK L’s first launch

SKYLARK L had its first launch in Iceland back in 2022, suffering from a technological failure during flight, they want to attempt another launch of SKYLARK L to achieve a successful flight of the rocket, paving the way for the future of UK spaceflight and SKYRORA XL as a whole.

Where will it launch?

SKYLARK L will be launching for the first time at the Saxavord UK spaceport, which is also where SKYRORA XL will be launching from for its orbital launches in the future. This launch will be a very big achievement to the team at SKYRORA, showing their potential in the UK space industry market and leading the way for the launch of its first orbital rocket.
