Orbex hopes to reach space with its Prime rocket later this year .
It is the first British -made rocket to reach orbit since Black Arrow last flew in 1971 .
Unlike Black Arrow, Orbex is hoping to use a launch site in the United Kingdom .
Orbex received 20 m from the British taxpayer for its maiden mission last month .
Orbex's first attempt to reach space will be made with its Prime rocket, a 62 ft launch vehicle.
It is capable of carrying about 150kg to low-earth-orbit, which is around 300 miles above the Earth .
Chambers says there was a recognition from the British Government and Europe that abandoning sovereign launch capabilities would be a “massive mistake”.
