Sutherland Spaceport, also known as Space Hub Sutherland or UK Vertical Launch (UKVL) Sutherland, is a planned, commercially operated spaceport located in Sutherland, Scotland. It aims to be one of the first vertical launch-capable spaceports in the United Kingdom, with Orbex selected to oversee construction, manage the site, and launch its Orbex Prime rocket. Sutherland Spaceport is designed to be a carbon-neutral spaceport for launching small satellites into polar and sun-synchronous orbits.
