Spacecraft Manufacturing and Testing Centre (Skyrora) – GCR Investment Zone

Описание: Part of the Glasgow City Region Investment Zone, the Spacecraft Manufacturing and Testing Centre – led by Skyrora – is one of six ambitious projects. It will see the construction of a centre in Glasgow City Region which will enhance capabilities to deliver launch vehicles (rockets) and satellite solutions, and other space technologies.

This will enable breakthrough developments, including research into nationally unique technologies; e.g. rocket engine components (including turbopumps), launch vehicle aerostructures, in-orbit servicing and manufacturing platforms, small satellites, robotics (industrial and in-space) and carbon fibre products.

Announced in June 2023, following a joint selection process by the UK and Scottish Governments, Glasgow City Region (GCR)’s Investment Zone is expected to generate around £300 million of initial private sector investment, to support 7,000 – 10,000 jobs, including through the expected Tax Site and to boost key growth sector specialisms of the Region’s innovation economy – specifically the Space, Semiconductor and Maritime sub-sectors of the Advanced Manufacturing sector.
