“Setting the stage for responsible low-Earth orbit launches of tiny satellites while also creating the significant economic potential for the UK, this is a historic moment for Cornwall. We want you to see history being made because we are making it.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Please be aware that there is no parking available on-site if you plan to attend in person. Viewers will be transported by bus to the viewing area via Park and Ride starting at 18:00 from Tregunnel Hill in Newquay and Watergate Bay.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How to watch the Start Me Up launch<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

For those who can’t make it, you may watch the launch live on Virgin Orbit’s YouTube channel <\/a><\/strong>from any device that is compatible starting at 21:00 UTC.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The live stream will include substantial build-up and interviews before to the big launch. The LauncherOne rocket will be fired at the earliest possible time of 22:16, around 40 minutes after Cosmic Girl, the Boeing 747-400 carrier aircraft, lifts off from Cornwall Newquay Airport.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Virgin Orbit released a helpful map outlining the rocket’s trajectory for those who would rather search the skies with their own eyes to see the rocket. According to Virgin Orbit, “The trajectory of LauncherOne is shown in blue, and the circles on the trajectory show its approximate location over the ocean at any given time. Each circle is measured in seconds starting from the launch and ignition point of the LauncherOne.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
