Space: a vibrant and high-growth sector
UK Space Industry is a hidden success story:• Achieved revenues of £5.9 billion in
2007• Contributed £5.6 billion to UK GDP in
2007• Provides 19,100 direct jobs• Supports 68,000 other UK jobs
UK has a very strong and world-class capability across the Space sector:
• Advanced manufacturing capabilities at Astrium and Surrey Satellites
• World-leading satellite operators in Inmarsat, Paradigm and Avanti
• One of the world’s largest satellite broadcasters – BSkyB
• World-class science• Great resources in teaching and skills• Satellite business finance and insurance

Some UK SuccessesINMARSAT 4: $770 M contract won by Astrium. Exploits the world’s most powerful digital on-board processor developed under an ESA programme
PARADIGM: £2.5 B contract won against strong competition from US for SKYNET 5. Key differentiator was digital processor and active antenna technology which was developed with BNSC support
INFOTERRA, NPA: Earth observation service companies
AVANTI: pioneering regional broadband ‘access for all’.
SSTL: low cost satellites exported around the world

Some of the UK’s Priorities
• European Space Policy
•Global partnerships
Galileo and Telecommunications
Innovative services for Government and business
ESA’s Cosmic Vision
The Global Exploration Strategy
science, technology and inspiration
UK role in a global framework
Global Monitoring for Environment
and Security (GMES)Data from space to
understand Climate Change, protect our environment and
quality of life

Space Innovation and Growth Team
• Government invited industry to lead an Innovation and Growth Team (IGT) drawing upon inputs from all the communities active around space
• Aim to develop a 20-year vision, and make recommendations on how best to grow the sector
• Executive Steering Board, chaired by Andy Green, CE of Logica
• Five Working Groups (members from across industry, the academic world, smaller companies, public sector etc.):
– Markets– Capabilities– Public Policy– Awareness and Skills– Finance and Procurement
• Report launched 10th February
17
IGT Vision: a sector with major growth potential
• The global Space market forecast to be worth at least £400 billion by 2030.
• Through the Space IGT, the UK Space Industry has proposed a 20-yr strategy to:
• capture 10% of that market by 2030
• create 100,000 UK jobs.
• An ambition that needs Industry and Government to work in partnership
18
IGT Vision: Space is vital to our future
Significant growth in opportunities:• Telecommunications
– broadband internet from space– internet on the move– ‘smart homes’– mobile telephone services– High Definition and 3D TV.
• Navigation systems set to proliferate across a broad range of industries
– Agriculture– Defence– Tourism– Transport
• Major growth in Earth Observation for climate-change monitoring and mitigation and other uses
• Space telecommunications and EO data will become an even more vital part of world-wide security infrastructures
• Space science will continue to extend the horizons of understanding and drive-forward innovation
19
IGT Recommendations - ONE
Government and Industry work together to:1. Develop a National Space Policy2. Ensure the UK Executive Space Agency is sufficiently resourced and empowered to drive economic and social benefits from Space3. Develop a National Space Technology Strategy4. Ensure credit is available for satellite procurement and launch5. Procure a sovereign Earth Observation (EO) capability6. Take a leadership role in climate-change monitoring, mitigationand agreement verification7. Develop Space as a complementary ICT infrastructure to fibre-optic and wireless superfast broadband8. Use Space capabilities to help achieve UK CO2 emissions reductions from ICT systems………………………
20
IGT Recommendations - TWO
Government and Industry work together to:
……………….9. Reflect Space capabilities in future defence/security planning10. Promote Space in future UK/EU emergency mobile networks11. Secure sufficient future satellite radio frequency spectrum and orbital slots12. Train the next generation of Space engineers and scientists and promote STEM subjects in schools, colleges and businesses13. Initiate and lead three Space exploration or science missions by 203014. Establish a hub and spoke model for Space in the UK, and an International Space Innovation Centre at Harwell15. Invest earlier, and more consistently, in ESA programmes16. Establish a Space Leadership Council to implement this strategy
21
Space IGT - Outcomes
• Will drive future policy• Government preparing a response• Welcomes IGT report, even though cannot
commit to doing all that industry requests in the current economic climate
• A sound basis for growing the space industry

Space Agency• Lord Drayson Announced new executive space
agency on 10th December 2009• Followed full consultation and strong endorsement by
Space IGT• As well as maximising the role of space technologies
in driving economic growth, new agency’s responsibilities will include:
– strengthening the UK’s relationship with the European Space Agency;
– agreeing with UK industry how to maximise the benefits of space technologies;
– working with scientific community to provide a clear voice on decisions that affect the sector
• Transition of BNSC into agency currently being planned in detail
24
ESA Centre at Harwell
• Establishment of an ESA centre at the Harwell Science & Innovation Campus
• Scope– Climate Data Assimilation & Modelling
– Integrated Applications - New commercial & public good applications integrating space & ground data/assets
– Space Exploration - robotics/novel power/planetary protection and sample receiving facilities
• Plan for International Space Innovation Centre to sit alongside ESA facility
– Ensure benefits flow to UK
– Critical mass of HEIs, Industry & National capability
