Throughout the last decade the United Kingdom has maintained an active programme of sounding rocket and ballistic missile development, from which the current space activities have emerged; the former weapon Blue Streak has become the first stage of the ELDO satellite launcher, Black Knight is being considered as the basis for a national launcher (Black Arrow), and Skylark is now used exclusively for space research. The paper describes these projects, as well as the U.K.3 and Black Arrow satellites, and concludes with a brief mention of related ground facilities. (Author)
