It is the first ever orbital space launch from British soil and if it is successful it will mark a major milestone for the UK space industry. If the rocket is successfully launched, nine shoe-box sized satellites will then be released into an orbit more than 500km above Earth. The jet will take about an hour to travel from Newquay Airport in Cornwall to the launch zone, according to the BBC's science correspondent Jonathan Amos. The rocket will then head in a southerly direction as it gains altitude."It'll climb high into the sky and it will zoom around the Earth, past Antarctica, come up the other side and it will drop off those nine satellites high above the planet.
