When will they launch?

RFA will be launching from the northernly most part of the UK, Saxavord Spaceport sometime around in September, there isn't an official date for when they will launch yet, but it will be somewhere around September or early October time. This will be the first EVER launch from U.K soil, and will pave the way for future U.K Spaceflight.

Wrap up

Its great that RFA One is going to be launching sometime soon, the WDR has now shown that the booster is capable of launching, making this a step forward for UK and German spaceflight as a whole.
