Prime

British partially reusable small-lift biopropane orbital rocket

Prime never flew. Its planned launch was cancelled.

Orbex's reusable small-lift launcher, designed to burn biopropane and fly from SaxaVord Spaceport in the Shetland Islands. It was meant to be the first orbital rocket built and launched entirely in the UK, but Orbex ceased operations in February 2026.
