Description

Due to high demand some extra spaces have been opened for this event! Book Now to avoid disappointment.

The space launcher industry is still using rocket technology from the 1950s to place things in orbit; it's expensive and involves a new rocket for every launch. SKYLON is an unpiloted, reusable Spaceplane intended to provide reliable, responsive and cost effective access to space. The advanced combined cycle air-breathing SABRE rocket engine enables the vehicle to take off from a runway, fly direct to earth orbit and return for a runway landing, just like an aircraft. This is a game-changing engine technology that could make conventional rockets obsolete overnight!
