Over the last two decades, Scotland has built a world leading industry in satellite manufacturing, engineering, data, and ground-breaking research. As we look forward to the next chapters in this successful journey, including the UK's first orbital spaceport, this is a great time to not only celebrate but to promote Scotland's growing space industry to future generations." said AAC Clyde Space CEO, Luis Gomes.

This data has a vast range of applications, from weather forecasting to precision farming to environmental monitoring, and is essential to improving our quality of life on Earth.
The visit highlighted the UK's commitment to become a global leader in the Space Industry, STEM promotion and the development of sovereign capabilities such as the quickly approaching vertical launches from Scotland which will enable the UK to offer full end-to-end the small satellite supply chain capabilities.
UK Space Agency Chief Executive Dr Graham Turnock said: "From space-based earth observation and data analysis to world-class satellite design and manufacture, Scotland is pivotal to the UK's ambitions in space. Thanks to its science and engineering strengths and geographical position, Scotland is at the heart of our plans to launch satellites into orbit from home soil in 2022, and we're proud that the Scottish space sector is growing fast and creating the high-skilled jobs that will power economic growth. I'm delighted that Her Majesty the Queen and Her Royal Highness the Princess Royal have chosen to visit space businesses today, and I hope they will be as thrilled as I am about this extraordinary success story for Scotland."
