A Vertical Rocket Launch Facility is Coming to Shetland
The shetland space centre will be an enormous vertical rocket launch facility. The launch will be a first of its kind for the Shetland area and the first vertical rocket to be launched from this location.
This facility will open in June of 2020. A huge building will be constructed to house the launch site. When it is complete, the new facility will be the second tallest building in Shetland and the highest one in Scotland.
At the center of this building, there will be a single rocket launching platform where a single rocket can be launched. There will be two other platforms near the rocket launch area where vertical rockets can be launched simultaneously. These other platforms can be used for the launching of other smaller rockets.
Vertical Rocket Launch
Once the rocket has been launched, it will be stored at low elevations inside the building until it is needed again. It is not possible to remove the rockets until the launch time arrives. Once the launch is made, it will then be lifted to the proper location for takeoff.
The rockets will have automatic control systems to make sure they don't crash or fly off. If something should happen to the rocket, the control systems will be able to automatically re-route the rocket to a different landing area. The system will be very precise.
In addition to this facility, the Shetland Space Centre will also be home to a number of other activities. There will be a training and development center where people from around the world will come together to learn about rocket launches.
There will also be an airfield on the site for people to use for launches. This area will be a runway that is suitable for taking off and landing rockets.
There are various types of rockets that can be launched from this facility. The most commonly used are the vertical rockets, but also the gravity fed rocket, the kerosene fueled rocket and the liquid oxygen rocket. All are quite powerful.
These rockets are controlled by computers that are connected to a tower. and are located above the launch area. The computer software has a number of parameters to control the rocket's flight and maneuvering.
After launch, the rocket will then land back at the launching area. There will be a control center onsite to monitor the landing process. There will also be facilities for repairing the rocket at the end of the flight. If anything happens during the flight, there will be trained people onsite to fix things.
