From weather forecasts consulted before leaving home, location‐based services on smartphones, live events broadcast to television screens, to broadband connectivity in rural ‘not‐spots’, space‐enabled technologies are an integral part, and enhancement, of the everyday lives of UK citizens. Space technologies also enable an increasingly diverse range of business applications for professionals (e.g. aviation, surveying, agriculture, fisheries), commercial organisations (e.g. geological exploration, infrastructure monitoring, communication connectivity), critical infrastructures (e.g. transport, power, energy, telecoms, financial and civil infrastructures), public safety and security (e.g. defence forces, police, emergency services), and public agency users (e.g. environmental monitoring and disaster response, criminal justice). With such a span of influence, the availability and continuity of space services is of significant economic importance. Looking to the future, the considerable potential for the continued development of applications will drive innovation, providing important spillovers of knowledge and skills to the wider economy. On the supply side, the UK has a long and distinguished history of involvement in space.1 Indeed, in 2012 the UK celebrated 50 years of UK space science. Since Ariel‐1, the world’s first international satellite, carried UK experiments to solar orbit and made the UK the world’s 3rd space‐faring nation in 1962, the UK’s involvement in space has grown substantially, both institutionally and commercially. The path hasn’t always run smooth, but with ambitious long‐term objectives set out to 2030, the future is promising. Following on from a successful role in the Rosetta (Philae) mission, the UK Space Agency’s first CubeSat mission (UKube‐1), record industry performance, and recently announced government investment that will see the UK will playing the lead role in Europe's 2018 ExoMars mission, this report comes at an exciting time for the UK in space. The supply and consumption of space technologies in the UK contributes to GDP, provides employment, boosts productivity in space and non‐space sectors (knowledge spillovers), and offers utility benefits for consumers, producers, and society (environment, policy‐making, defence, etc.). The aggregate of these effects is the gross impact of space on the UK economy. 1.1 Research objectives This report aims to draw together existing evidence and conduct new analysis to assess this impact and provide answers to the questions: How significant is the contribution of space to the UK economy?; and how important is UK government support for the space economy? Whilst an accurate answer (i.e. net impact) would require a much larger piece of research consisting of a meta‐analysis of economic studies to rigorously assess the additionality of each investment and activity, this study endeavours to provide an assessment of gross impact. London Economics were commissioned to undertake this study on behalf of Innovate UK, the Satellite Applications Catapult, UKspace trade association and the UK Space Agency (represented by, and hereafter referred to as, ‘the Steering Committee’). This study complements and satisfies an Action (4.3) in the IGS Space Growth Action Plan 2014‐2030 for stakeholders to undertake a number of studies, including updating the economic impact study of the benefits of space for private business, UK citizens and government itself. 1 Please see Section 4.2 for a more detailed overview of the history of UK space involvement and government support. London Economics The Case for Space 2015 1 1 | Introduction and context This study, The Case for Space 2015, represents an update and extension of research originally undertaken in 2006, and updated in 2009, to assess the impact of space on the UK economy. This updated study has a base year of the 2012/13 financial year.2 This report is targeted towards a two‐part audience: 1) governmental economists and policymakers; and 2) industry, users and the general public.

Scientific missions to the Moon and Mars will address questions of profound interest to the human race. These include: the origins and history of the solar system; whether life is unique to Earth; and how life on Earth began. If our close neighbour, Mars, is found to be devoid of life, important lessons may be learned regarding the future of our own planet. 2. While the exploration of the Moon and Mars can and is being addressed by unmanned missions we have concluded that the capabilities of robotic spacecraft will fall well short of those of human explorers for the foreseeable future.

  • The Materials and Components for Missiles Innovation and Technology Partnership, MCM ITP Is a Dstl and DGA Sponsored Research Fu
    The Materials and Components for Missiles Innovation and Technology Partnership, MCM ITP is a dstl and DGA sponsored research fund open to all UK or French companies and academic institutions. Launched in 2007, the MCM ITP develops novel, exploitable technologies for generation-after-next missile systems. The MCM ITP aims to consolidate the UK-French Complex Weapons capability, strengthen the technological base and allow better understanding of common future needs. The programme manages a portfolio of over 100 cutting-edge technologies which hold the promise of major advances, but are still at the laboratory stage today. The MCM ITP is aligned into eight technical domains, each of which is led by one of the MCM ITP industrial consortium partners1. 1 The MCM ITP Industrial Consortium partners are: MBDA; THALES; Roxel; Selex ES; Safran Microturbo; QinetiQ; Nexter Munitions. Funding The programme is funded equally by the governments and the industrial partners and is composed of research projects on innovative and exploratory technologies and techniques for future missiles. There is strong participation from SMEs and academia with 76 participating in the programme to date, and a total of 121 organisations involved in the overall programme. With an annual budget of up to 12.5M€ and 30% of the budget targeted towards SMEs and Academia, the MCM has become the cornerstone of future collaborative research and technology demonstration programmes for UK-French missile systems. Conference On 21st and 22nd October 2015, DGA, dstl, MBDA and its partners will review the last two years of the MCM ITP programme, and present the technical advances that have been made possible thanks to this cooperative programme.

A strategy demonstrates that we are carefully considering the options available to us; that we have an eye on the long-term, and most importantly, that we are committed to action. We are currently celebrating the 50th anniversary of the UK’s first foray into space, recognizing the pioneers who first ventured into unknown scientific territory with the Ariel-1 satellite. In the intervening half-century, space has become part of our lives. We use its technology to navigate our streets, access the internet and communicate around the globe. And UK space expertise has cemented Britain at the forefront of the exploration of our Universe. We have landed the Huygens probe on Titan, flown by Halley’s comet with the Giotto mission, probed the mysteries of the Universe with Herschel and Planck, and advanced our understanding of planet Earth through the Envisat and Cryosat missions. Today, space continues to be a key sector for Britain’s future. Its economic contribution to the UK economy is impressive. Total space-related turnover was £9.1 billion in 2010/11 (compared to £7.5 billion in 2008/09). This represents a real growth of 15.6% since 2008/09.
