SaxaVord UK Spaceport is a multi-use, vertical space launch site in the UK located on the island of Unst in Shetland, Scotland. Our site has been chosen to host the UKSA’s UK Pathfinder launch, which will be delivered by Lockheed Martin and ABL Systems, in 2023.
We offer direct routes to key low-earth orbits, providing a wide range of launch services and ground station services to our global client base. We work with our clients from the early stages of launch planning and testing, through to take off, using the expert advice from our team on the ground and our state-of-the-art technology, engineering and data facilities.
Integral to the UK’s space economy ambitions, SaxaVord is building a highly skilled workforce, championing STEAM education and supporting the economic growth of local communities in Shetland.
The company was formed in 2017 by CEO Frank Strang and his wife Debbie Strang at the former RAF Saxa Vord base, with the launch site at nearby Lamba Ness .
