Tony Brown, Commercial Director at MSP, said: “We are pleased to join Orbex at such a crucial stage in its journey. We already work with a US-based space supplier, F1 teams and aerospace companies manufacturing complex carbon-fibre components, but this will be our first in the UK Space industry which holds extra importance. As Orbex’s campaign progresses, our products will support them to push the boundaries in terms of the accuracy and complexity of components they can produce”.
Phil Chambers, CEO at Orbex, added: “With a strong focus on quality and sustainability, suppliers are a critical part of our journey to launch and each agreement – such as this one with MSP takes us one step closer to delivering our first launch from Sutherland Spaceport. As the team begins to ramp-up we look to work with suppliers that can help us to optimise our processes and automate key elements of production.”
