Virgin Orbit bankruptcy: why the UK's spaceport industry may still have a bright future

According to the latest official figures, the sector’s revenue grew about 5.1% in 2021, outpacing the global space industry.

Key Points: 
  • According to the latest official figures, the sector’s revenue grew about 5.1% in 2021, outpacing the global space industry.
  • This is even more impressive considering the UK’s economy declined over the same period.
  • However, for the country’s ambitions of becoming a commercial spaceport powerhouse, as a space industry researcher I think little, if anything, has changed.
  • It’s easy to blame the failed rocket launch for its bankruptcy, but there’s more to it than that.

Risk and reward

    • Risk must be factored in from the start, which explains why government support is needed.
    • Failure rate is high across all missions and types of space flight.
    • Ariane 5, considered the workhorse of European space travel, was the most expensive rocket failure in history, costing US$370 million (£298 million).

Grounds for concern

    • This does not mean there aren’t any grounds for concern, however.
    • The international outlook for the hi-tech sector is less favourable, with rising interest rates worldwide squeezing the companies that need funding the most.
    • Alternatively, more failed launches may signal to businesses that the UK is not (yet) a viable competitor to more established sites in the US and elsewhere.
