Session 1 - Context

Aims and Introduction to the Space for Smarter

Government Programme (SSGP)

Sara Huntingdon, UK Space Agency

June 2017

Led by the UK Space Agency

Delivered in collaboration with the Satellite Applications Catapult

Aims of Today

- Raise awareness of the art of the possible

- Better understand how remote sensing and satellite applications could be used to assist with existing and future energy infrastructure challenges

- Highlight and explore current challenges within industry and the public sector

- Signpost opportunities

- Establish new contacts/networks

- Influence future direction and delivery focus of SSGP

Civil Space Strategy Innovation and Growth Strategy Space Growth Action Plan

What is it…?

UK Space Agency led and funded programme

Established in 2014 as a delivery mechanism to enable UK growth

Government team based in Swindon and London

Delivered in collaboration with Government Services team within the

Satellite Applications Catapult, based at Harwell (more on this later)

Helps the public sector save money, innovate and make more effective

policy decisions using space, and indirectly enables wider sector growth

Works with industry, academia and public sector users to bring

sustainable operational services to market which meet a defined public

sector requirement

Covers all satellite applications – earth observation, communications and

position, navigation and timing – and associated business change

aspects

How does it work?

Raise awareness

Enable access

Demonstrate capability

- Discovery Days / Stakeholder Events

- Training / Topic Specific Workshops

- Conferences / Themed trade shows

- Cross Gov Engagement /Working Groups

- Joining up complementary approaches

- Exploiting wider industry business networks

- Providing neutral advice with reach-back to

technical expertise

- Signposting wider funding and support

- Requirements gathering and definition for

public sector

- Embedded resource

- Targeted competitions, capability showcases

and demonstrators

- Increasing application Case Study portfolio

Current focus Benefits - Optimising uptake of applications developed so far

Education - Space and Satellite Applications training package for the public sector

Influence - Future policy thinking via involvement in Cross-Government bodies

Delivery - Two strategic themes involving multiple users /departments

• Disaster Risk Management

• Emergency Services

Develop - Exploring appetite for new theme development

• Nuclear

• Energy Infrastructure

If you have user needs (or capabilities) relating to any of these topics

and want to explore how SSGP can help - we would like to hear from you!

The Market Programmes

Sustainable Living – looking after Earth and natural resources

The UN Global Goals highlight the need for sustainable development of agricultural land and resource usage.

They also highlight the increasing importance of monitoring environmental impact of human activities and mitigation of their negative effects. Focus on:

• Agri-tech • Water • Energy • Extractive and construction industries

Three WEF workstreams are each designed to support the strategic goals of Government,

Industry and the Risk Markets. By working with these stakeholders we integrate a network

of organisations to assess the key challenges that are in the national long term interest.

Session 4 – Plenary Discussion

Emerging opportunities for remote sensing

applications usage?

Which policy or project areas have clear

requirements that could be explored further using

remote sensing applications?

What barriers might be expected in the utilisation

of remote sensing applications?

Who has ideas/might volunteer project or policy

areas in which to test satellite application

feasibility?

– have been inspired today

– have an idea or question after the event

– have a requirement or policy area you would like to go into more depth on

– want to know more about the different types of satellite applications

– want to know how to access free and commercially available satellite data and services

– want to know how other satellite enabled technologies may be able to help you (including satellite communications and position, navigation and timing)
