Later this year the UK's first-ever orbital satellite launch will take place from a spaceport in Cornwall.

In its payload will be two Cubesats that it is hoped will pave the way for a new generation of British military satellites.

Britain's future military surveillance satellites are being developed in a business park in Hampshire and Forces News has been able to gain access to take a closer look.
