Description

Spaceport Cornwall (SPC) is a consortium made up of Cornwall Council, Virgin Orbit and
Goonhilly Earth Station Ltd to provide the UK's first satellite launch from Cornwall
Airport Newquay in Summer 2022. The project successfully secured £20M of funding
from Cornwall Council, UK Space Agency, Virgin Orbit, the Cornwall and Isles of Scilly
Local Enterprise Partnership and the European Development Fund and is now moving
towards delivery of the first launch from UK soil this year.
With support of the ERDF, Cornwall Council has embarked on the development of the
Centre for Space Technologies (CST) located at Cornwall Airport Newquay. The project is
one element of the broader Spaceport Cornwall programme, establishing facilities,
infrastructure and services to support satellite launch operations and the research and
development of satellite and launch system technologies.
Cornwall Council is now seeking a specialist consultant to design & build an exhibition stand for Spaceport Cornwall in the newly built dedicated Space Zone at Farnborough International Airshow 2022.
