“We are one of only a handful of global sites to employ horizontal launch technology, which uses a carrier aircraft that takes off from a runway carrying a launch vehicle. 

We have the technical capability to conduct multiple launches in a single day if the market required it, which is unique not just in Scotland or the UK, but anywhere in the world."
