Orbital has done this for years with Pegasus.” My second thought was that LauncherOne was vaporware but they have designed their own engines, the Newton series, and have already tested them. I like the fact that they are trying to get into the cubesat market. They have listed 300kg into a sun-synchronous orbit which is pretty good.

I wish them the best of British Luck on their first launch this year.
