UKLSL Gives Oral Evidence to UK Engagement with Space Committee

UKLSL was recently invited to the House of Lords to provide oral evidence to UK Engagement with Space Committee—an important milestone that highlights our role in shaping the nation’s space policy.

Dr. Adam Baker, co-founder of UKLSL, made a compelling case for the UK to develop sovereign launch capability, emphasising its critical role in securing the country’s space economy, national security, and long-term competitiveness. He outlined how the lack of domestic launch services puts the UK at a disadvantage compared to leading space economies like the US, China, and Russia, which all maintain independent launch infrastructure.
