The UK Space sector

Contributes £9.1 billion to the economy and directly employs 28,900

Estimated jobs supported by space 101,000

Three quarters of staff are graduates

UK space sector average growth rate 7.5% pa

Estimated UK share of the global market 7%

Targeting a £40B turnover in 2030, which means 100,000 new jobs

£37B of this will be in satellite applications and services

The opportunities from Space – the perfect

storm • Technological advances in satellite capability

• Political commitment to fund operational services

• Funding opportunities for application development

• Skills and people across UK public and private sector

• Help to navigate the industry and technology

So what can the Civil Service do to realise the

opportunities?

The Basics of Satellite ApplicationsYou know about:

• Google Maps = Earth Observation

• Sat Nav = Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) receiver

• Sky TV and media broadcasting = Satellite Communications

Did you know?

• Radar – can see through clouds so you can get image in any weather and in the dark

• Some satellites can be ‘tasked’ or asked to collect the data you want

• Copernicus – will give you free data about the earth for many years

• Galileo – is about to be launched and will enhance your GNSS service

• A satellite built in the UK was the first to provide disaster recovery data to the USA in the wake of Hurricane Katrina

Trends

• Improved redundancy

• Premium services with higher resiliency

and accuracy

• Improved trust, accuracy, resilience and

integration with complementary

solutions

Opportunities

• Autonomous vehicles

• Security and accreditation

Satellite Position, Navigation & Timing (PNT)Navigation satellites provide us with essential information that is used for:

personal navigation logistics synchronisation of

power stations

timing for financial

transactions

Galileo

• European alternative to GPS (USA) and Glonass (Russian)

• A civilian, rather than military service

• Provision of:

– Open and free to use signal

– Public Regulated Service: encrypted signal for secure navigation

– Search and Rescue Service

– Fee based commercial services

• The ‘kit’ to receive the signal is in your smart phone, the applications are endless

our resources, respond to global humanitarian disasters and enable sustainable

development.

Images can be processed to provide maps and/or essential information on a vast number

of areas, including:

marine environments climate change pollution monitoring crop health

Copernicus – Sentinels • Includes optical and radar payloads which will measure:

− Sentinel 1 –oil spills, sea ice, marine winds and waves, land use change, land deformation and respond to emergencies such as floods and earthquakes.

− Sentinel 2 – vegetation changes during growing season, land management, disaster control and humanitarian relief. Land-coverage maps, land change detection maps and geophysical variables that use leaf area index, leaf chlorophyll content and leaf water content. Will also provide images of floods and volcanic eruptions.

− Sentinel 3 – global sea surface temperature to 0.3K; sea-surface topography; sea and land temperature; and ocean and land surface colour.

− Sentinel 4/5 – atmospheric composition. Services include: monitoring air quality; stratospheric ozone; solar radiation; and climate monitoring.

− Best spatial resolution = 5m

Departments leading the way

This first year SSGP are helping discover how space will be used in:

• Environment applications – for Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs

• Transport applications – for Department for Transport

• Natural Hazards Risk Management – for the Cabinet Office Civil Contingencies Unit

• Smart Cities – for Department of Communities and Local Government and Local

Authorities

• DO YOU WANT TO BE PART OF THE NEXT PHASE OF SSGP?

• DO YOU WANT TO INNOVATE AND USE SPACE TO SAVE MONEY?

Conclusion

• Space applications can help you deliver your business more effectively and efficiently

• It is not too technical to understand – and where it is, there is help

• The costs are reducing - much of the data sources are now free and there are numerous pots of funding available

• Can we inspire you to use a space based solution that could help you innovate, save operational monies or make better policy decisions?
