Description
Black Arrow launched the Prospero satellite from Woomera, Australia, on 28 October 1971, after the government had already cancelled the program. It’s still the only time a British-built rocket has put a satellite into orbit, and Prospero is still up there.
Britain remains the only country to have developed its own satellite launcher and then given it up.
