Title: Shetland (UK) space centre for satellite launches
Post by: RoundLurker on February 20, 2020, 08:29:16 AM

Pesky space centres sending up more balloons!

"Plans to launch a space centre in Shetland have received a £2m investment boost, it has been revealed.  Shetland Space Centre (SSC) said private equity firm Leonne International's financial injection gave it a 20% stake in the business."

I wonder who exactly is funding this and why, if it's complete folly.

For those that don't know, the Shetlands are remote islands in Scotland; "a subarctic archipelago in the Northern Isles of Scotland, situated in the Northern Atlantic, between Great Britain, the Faroe Islands and Norway".

Ask nasa balloon program office for details - spying on Russia maybe.
