UK Key Messages 1. The UK Space Scene has changed –
architecture and attitude 2. Strategic focus on capturing growth
opportunities and potential underpins the overall strategy
3. UK Space Agency will drive that strategy and harness ambition for the sector
Aim to set the picture for the opportunities available and how to engage with them.

Upstream Downstream
9% growth per annum for a decade

UK Strengths Both upstream and downstream • Telecoms, broadcast and navigation, • World-class science and research • Small and larger satellite manufacturing • Earth observation • Finance and insurance • Software design and systems integration
..... And much more
New and growing areas • Growth of international telecommunications and navigation
services and applications; • Provision of information systems to support carbon trading and
climate change initiatives • Systems for space surveillance to alert us to natural and man-
made hazards which threaten critical space infrastructure; • Innovative launch systems; • Services to support space exploration; and space tourism • Data processing and analysis. • Instrumentation • Materials • Energy, fuels and propulsion
...Again there are many more – the key is to reach into new areas and take from a broader base
A unique UK success story
• The UK-led Disaster Monitoring Constellation has seven satellites in orbit
• UK Space Agency funded the first UK DMC satellite
• Two more under construction by Surrey Satellite Technology Ltd.
Harwell Science & Innovation Campus
• Created in 2006 to build on the outstanding existing science and technology facilities
• Researchers at Harwell are working in fields as diverse as fusion energy, climate change and medical science.
• Facilities already available include X-ray and neutron radiation sources and a Peta-Watt class laser
• Existing Rutherford Appleton Laboratory Space Science and Technology Department
Technology Strategy Board and the Satellite Applications Catapult
•Key UK Space Agency partner and final piece in growth Jigsaw •Partnership on telecoms and navigation and on National Space Technology Strategy •Brings access to the broader base •Provides technology demonstration opportunities •Innovation and accelerated R & D into business use
