All kinds of satellites including small satellites have been manufactured in Scotland for decades, with the city of Glasgow actually churning out around 70% of Europe’s satellites.

In addition to manufacturing small satellites, Scotland is soon to host a number of rocket launch pads to launch satellites into orbit as well as horizontal launch facilities.
