The US rocket and satellite company has an option to take a stake in the North East and Yorkshire-based innovator

Communications tech firm Filtronic has announced another multimillion-pound order from Elon Musk's SpaceX as the latest in multi-year partnership.
The specialist developer of transmitters and receivers for satellite communications has landed a $8.4m (£6.4m) follow-on production order for more of its E-band solid state power amplifier (SSPA) modules. US-based SpaceX will use the equipment in its roll-out of the Starlink satellite constellation, which provides high-speed, low-latency internet to users all around the world.
The County Durham and Leeds-based firm says the order will be completed in the 2025 calendar year - boosting expectations for the 2025 financial year performance.
