Richard Branson's small satellite service provider Virgin Orbit Holdings Inc will be doing its first launch from European soil within the next six weeks, its founder said recently.
"Virgin Orbit can launch satellites into space from anywhere in the world into any orbit at a days notice," Branson said during a press conference in Milan.
"We are doing the first launch from European soil into space within the next six weeks ... from Cornwall," he added.
Founded by Branson back in 2017, the company began commercial service in 2021.
