Space: Firm's disappointment satellite didn't get to space

The boss of satellite builders Space Forge has spoken of his disappointment the firm’s orbiter did not complete its journey.

The Cardiff company was responsible for ForgeStar-0, which was on board Virgin Orbit’s failed space launch this month.

Chief executive Josh Western said the business was now working on ForgeStar-1.

“It was a real shame we didn’t get to make it to space,” he said.
