RFA’s rocket, which doesn’t have a crew, is called RFA One; a giant 30-meter-tall vehicle, about the length of two lorries with their trailers.

The rocket will take off from Launch Pad 1 ‘Fredo’ at the SaxaVord site.

It will then travel north west, out over the Norwegian Sea and the North Pole, before hopefully entering orbit around 500km above the surface of the Earth.

After launch, the first and second stages of each rocket will separate and fall away once the fuel has been used, allowing the third stage to carry on with the valuable satellite equipment.

The first and second stages will fall back into the sea, sinking to the bottom to form an artificial reef and serve as a habitat for marine life.
