California start-up ABL Space Systems to launch from Shetland
The UK division of aerospace giant Lockheed Martin says it will use a rocket provided by ABL Space Systems to launch satellites from the Shetland Space Centre on the island of Unst. ABL is a start-up based in California and expects to fly its RS1 vehicle for the first time in the coming months. Once flight-proven, Lockheed Martin will then bring the rocket to Shetland to launch small satellites. This promotional video from Lockheed envisions what an ABL launch would look like.
