The space centre owned by Cornwall Council has opened a new building for businesses developing and launching satellites.
The opening of the Space Systems Operations Facility, part of Spaceport Cornwall, will be a centre for research and development as well as enabling businesses to build and launch space craft.
The new facility follows the unsuccessful launch of satellites by a plane from the site in January.
The mission led by Virgin Orbit, the first from UK soil, ended in failure after a rocket fuel filter became dislodged.
Spaceport Cornwall is a consortium made up its council owners and partners including the UK Space Agency, Goonhilly Earth Station and Virgin Orbit.
Cornwall Council member Louis Gardner said: ‘When we set out on this journey eight years ago it was all about creating a cluster of space related businesses here in Cornwall and creating a new part of the Cornish economy, and this building is a symbol that we have done just that.
‘It is not just about launch, it's about everything that we can bring to the party all related to space.’
