LONDON (Reuters) – Britain said it had approved plans for U.S. defence company Lockheed Martin <LTM.N> to move its satellite launch operations to Shetland Space Centre, off the coast of northern Scotland.
Britain is trying to build up its position as a destination of choice for small satellite launches in Europe and said Lockheed’s plans could create hundreds of jobs.
