Skyrora, a UK-based aerospace company, is seeking a launch operator license for SaxaVord Spaceport in the Shetland Islands. Their proposal includes conducting up to 16 launches annually from SaxaVord, using the Skyrora Skylark L for suborbital missions and the Skyrora XL for orbital launches https://orbitaltoday.com/2024/07/05/skyrora-applies-for-a-saxavord-launch-operator-licence/ If approved, this license would mark a significant milestone for a UK-headquartered company in the space industry, emphasizing environmental considerations in their application
Paradoxically, this cosmic distance bears little influence on the terrestrial thermometer. The true maestro behind our seasons is Earth’s axial tilt - an elegant 23.5-degree inclination that orchestrates the symphony of solstices and equinoxes, earth aphelion. As July unfolds, the Northern Hemisphere leans sunward, basking in the full solar glare of summer. Meanwhile, the Southern Hemisphere, tilted away, experiences shorter, cooler days.
