Skybolt Rocket

Our Year 5 and Year 6 children are involved in an exciting project which will bring 'Skybolt', a full sized rocket to the playground for the day.

Skybolt belongs to Starchaser, Britain’s only commercial rocket company, which is working towards the creation of a totally reusable rocket system that can be used to safely launch tourists into space.

In 2001, the Company launched it’s Nova 1 rocket, which, at 11 metres in length qualified as the biggest rocket ever flown from the UK mainland. It was launched from Morecambe Bay on 21st November.
