  • Space Industry
    Your future in…. Space industry Introduction Our daily lives are influenced by what happens in space, much more so than we realise. The research from the space industry cascades down, affecting a wide range of technologies. It is estimated that up to 100,000 skilled jobs in the space sector will be created in the next 15 years. With such a positive outlook the opportunities for graduates look set to rise. While the great majority of roles are in science and “The space sector is growing rapidly technology, there are also opportunities in areas and society is increasingly such as law, policy, insurance, education, dependent on it; the possibilities manufacturing and tourism. for STEM graduates are limitless The industry is essentially split in two: upstream and it's a fantastic feeling to work and downstream. Upstream work is focused on in an area on the edge of human sending objects into space and space exploration, exploration.” Dr Ashley Cooke, while downstream utilises the research and Galileo Programme Manager, UK technology from upstream in a range of different Space Agency applications. Downstream is where greatest growth in the sector comes from and where the greatest number of opportunities are. The industry needs people who can translate upstream research into downstream applications. Work experience and skills development The Young Graduate Trainees (YGT) programme at the European Space Agency (ESA) is a year-long placement for Masters graduates, advertised in November. About 80 posts are available, both technical and non-technical. Current Master’s students can also apply for ESA’s student placements, lasting 3-6 months.

  • Covering the Increased Liability of New Launch Markets
    32nd Space Symposium, Technical Track, Colorado Springs, Colorado, United States of America Presented on April 11-12, 2016 COVERING THE INCREASED LIABILITY OF NEW LAUNCH MARKETS Robert Williams, [email protected] Kevin Walsh, [email protected] ABSTRACT The next generation space race prize is the integration of space dependent technology reliably in modern society. This paper is offered as an examination of an expanding diverse space launch industry as well as the necessity for increased capacity of resources in the underwriting space. Consumers are already space application dependent. There are 1 billion GPS receivers already deployed and expected to grow to 7 billion by 2022. As an example, satellites transformed 800 analogue channels in 1991 to more than 25,000 digital channels today. Without GPS, money isn’t accessible from an ATM. Space plays a greater role in day-to-day life and liability coverage will become more important. If a satellite fails for example, businesses relying on satellite services to function may want to claim for lost income or expenses incurred. Growth of space business has been characterized by a shift away from military and the public over to the private sector. Space activity was largely funded through government bodies such as NASA, the European Space Agency or the Japanese Space Agency. With recent estimates by the Satellite Industry Association placing cumulative satellite industry revenues at over $195.2 billion, a number of private companies are successfully entering the space industry and space application world. Governments and space agencies, which were ordering and building space hardware themselves, are now shifting towards buying services from private companies.
