AMEL had the privilege of working on this outstanding project led by the UK Space Agency, as part of the countdown to the first launch by Virgin Orbit from Spaceport Cornwall. The model was a 72ft (22m) life-size replica of the first rocket that launched from UK soil in 2023. Displayed outside of the Science Museum in London, the rocket was part of a range of free, space-themed activities and hands-on exhibitions.

Aside from being the largest scale model AMEL has ever created, there was a buzz around this project because of our dedication to STEM activities.
