Our Spaceport

Astraius will base its launch and range operations in the UK at the Prestwick Spaceport in Scotland. The Spaceport, which is at an advanced stage of planning, will provide all necessary ground-based requirements in bespoke, state of the art facilities.

The C-17 Globemaster transport aircraft will operate from the Spaceport, providing our ‘air-launch’ platform. Payload processing, launch vehicle integration, and a new mission/range control centre, will make this one of the most advanced launch facilities of its kind in the world.
