Virgin Orbit rocket suffers anomaly during 1st launch from UK

NEWQUAY, U.K. — The first-ever orbital mission to lift off from the United Kingdom did not go as planned.

That flight, the “Start Me Up” mission by Virgin Orbit, started out well enough. The company’s carrier plane, known as Cosmic Girl, lifted off from Spaceport Cornwall here on schedule Monday (Jan. 9) at 5:02 p.m. EST (2202 GMT).
