Skyrora is developing the Skyrora XL orbital rocket, fueled by hydrogen peroxide, for polar and sun-synchronous launches from Scotland, after testing suborbital vehicles.
PRE-REVENUESkyrora is a Glasgow-headquartered launch company developing the three-stage Skyrora XL orbital rocket, which uses HTP (high-test hydrogen peroxide) and kerosene propellants and is intended for sun-synchronous orbit, and the suborbital Skylark L. In August 2025 the UK Civil Aviation Authority licensed it to fly Skylark L up to 16 times a year from SaxaVord Spaceport.
Skyrora is building the Skyrora XL, a three-stage orbital launch vehicle designed to deliver payloads of up to 315 kg to low Earth orbit from launch sites in Scotland. The company has completed multiple suborbital test flights and extensive engine testing. Skyrora is notable for its use of Ecosene, a high-performance kerosene derived from recycled plastic waste, and its focus on sustainable launch operations.
