Skyrora's hopes of launching a rocket into space took a hit as its first attempt ended in the icy waters of the Norwegian Sea. The Edinburgh-based company's Skylark L rocket's initiative to head to the cosmos from an Iceland launch pad lasted only 11-meter. Although this was Skyrora's first attempt to reach space, it has launched rockets to lower altitudes before.
