The Highland Council is a local government authority in Scotland that plays a role in the space industry by approving and supporting the development of space infrastructure. Specifically, they granted approval for the Space Hub Sutherland, a vertical launch spaceport project led by Highlands and Islands Enterprise (HIE). This spaceport aims to facilitate small satellite launches, contributing to Scotland's and the UK's growing space sector, with partners such as Orbex Space and potential interest from Lockheed Martin. The council's involvement includes ensuring environmental impact assessments are conducted and that construction minimizes impact on the natural environment.
