Orbex has announced the appointment of a new supplier, MSP, as it progresses towards offering orbital launch services from the UK.
MSP will provide technology to automate the production of components being used by the orbital launch services provider as it progresses towards its first launch.
Based in North East England, MSP’s primary goal is to automate key areas of the CNC machining process to optimise CNC machine productivity, remove setup and alignment errors to prevent parts from being machined incorrectly and scrapped as a result. The savings in wasted material and energy this provides has resulted in MSP becoming a key player in multiple Net Zero strategies for leading manufacturers worldwide.
Orbex is currently constructing Sutherland Spaceport, from which it will vertically launch small satellites into Low Earth Orbit using their Orbex Prime microlauncher. In the lead-up to becoming fully operational as a launch services provider, Orbex is creating new partnerships with suppliers that are supporting them on their journey.
