Skyrora

Skyrora is a Cumbernauld aerospace company developing launch vehicles and related technology for the small-satellite market. Its work covers rocket design, engineering, manufacturing and testing, with its main Scottish manufacturing operation based at Drum Mains Park in North Lanarkshire.

The company develops launch systems intended to place small payloads into orbit, alongside propulsion and testing capabilities needed to support that programme. Skyrora’s Scottish activity includes manufacturing and assembly in Cumbernauld and testing work at a separate site in Midlothian. This gives the business a role across several parts of the space-launch development cycle rather than simply acting as a sales or project office.

Skyrora Limited is an active Scottish company incorporated in 2017. For suppliers, engineering partners and organisations working in the space sector, its Cumbernauld base is a useful point of contact for a business combining aerospace engineering with physical manufacturing. The company’s public material also reflects wider ambitions around launch services and access to space for small satellites.
