The head of the UK’s space force, Air Vice-Marshal Jamie Thompson, is suspended while an investigation is carried out into alleged serious sexual misconduct, according to reporting.
Thompson was appointed to the role in June and is suspended roughly two months later. The outlets describe the suspension as linked to the ongoing inquiry, with no outcome reported at the time of publication.
While coverage focuses on the timeline of his appointment and subsequent suspension, the reports also highlight that the matter is under investigation, not concluded. The available details do not indicate any findings or disciplinary decisions beyond the suspension, and the reporting centers on allegations rather than established facts.
