May 12 (UPI) – The United States and Britain reached a spaceflight partnership agreement Thursday aimed at launching cheaper, faster and more streamlined spaceflight operations.
Under the agreement, the two countries agree to work together to generate opportunities for British and American corporations to release missions from both countries’ spaceports by reducing bureaucracy and regulatory hurdles, he said.
“Travel in commercial areas is expanding and it is our duty to make sure those inventions move forward safely, encouraging them to expand in a way that benefits everyone,” Buttigieg said. “We are proud to launch this partnership with the UK to bring more benefits. from the travel of the advertising area to our workers, companies and communities. “
Britain’s Department for Transport called the deal a “historic partnership” that will make London dependent on other countries to launch satellites made and operated by Britain.
London has sought its local industry, which generates some 47,000 jobs, as it approaches its first launch from its floor in SpacePort Cornwall later this year.
Seven spaceports are being developed lately in the European island nation.
