Space Leadership Council update

Space Innovation and Growth Strategy Project – Background

2009, set up by Minister for Science & Innovation to identify a plan for the future, chaired by Andy Green, CEO of Logica

9 months of intensive work by over 200 members of Industry, Government and Academia working in five themes:

Markets and Wealth CreationCapabilities Technologies and FacilitiesDelivering public policyRaising awarenessFinance and procurement

The IGS report was published in February 2010 giving 16 recommendations, Government response published in March 2010

Majority of IGS points adopted by new Government with significant personal support being given to the sector from Secretary of State David Willetts, Science Minister.

Space Innovation & Growth Strategy - Major Findings

The UK should plan to increase its current 6% market share of the world space market to 10% by 2030

This will increase revenues from £5.9 billion to £40 billion over this period

This will create 100,000 jobs

Major growth areas will come from:Broadband by satelliteTV broadcast from spaceEarth Observation from spaceLocation and timing based servicesLow cost entry to space

A majority of this growth will be in export for which we must be among the first to market.

Space Innovation & Growth Strategy - Recommendation 3

The UK Government and industry should establish a National SpaceTechnology Strategy (NSTS), with a clearly identifiable budget separate and additional to ESA and research council budgets

This recommendation is a key building block in delivering the ambitious innovation and growth planned and should be established quickly and funded properly

A National Space Technology Steering Group should be set up immediately to oversee the NSTSG, chaired by industry, but with Government representation.

Space Leadership CouncilSpace Leadership Council is co-chaired by David Willetts and Andy Green. It’s members are senior space sector industrialists, academics and Government senior officials.

It has met 3 times already this year with another two planned.

One of its most important roles is to oversee the implementation of the IGS recommendations to maximise growth in the sector.

To achieve growth and particularly within export it is necessary to be one of the first to market.

Technology and innovation is the driver for winning in export, or winning a leading position on multinational programmes

Iain Gray CEO, Technology Strategy Board is the SLC Champion of Recommendation 3

The Technology Strategy provides important insight to the Space Leadership Council to assist discussions with all stakeholders and especially with Government in regard of what is required to deliver the projected growth targets as outlined in the Space IGS

Therefore the SLC is closely monitoring the progress on the Technology roadmapping activities

UK Space Agency Update

Terry Coxall

Space Agency Update

Already working as a shadow agency

Will not be official until next April

Negotiating Service Level Agreements with other Government departments

Has 3 additional staff on-loan (seconded) from industry.

The Agency has submitted it's own budget request into the CSR process

Need CSR decisions before full organisation and size can be further developed.

Technology budget is the responsibility of the Agency with the Technology Strategy Board remaining as its main delivery arm

Technology roadmapping will enable visibility where potential growth from the UK Space community could be derived

The road maps are shaped by the market opportunities and drivers

These two dynamics ensure that UK developments will have exploitation routes of maximum growth

Research activities are to focus on where the UK has an existing or emerging strength and capability

This will ensure that developments are building on the current foundation, create expedient development cycles (because they are not starting from scratch) and further market differentiation in a globally competitive environment.

Research themes create the building blocks of collaborative programmes that will further evolve UK capabilities and strengths creating opportunities for maximum inclusion across the diverse supply chain in the Space sector.

Telecommunications

Workstream Leader: Peter Aspden - Astrium

Telecommunications Market

Telecommunications dominates the UK Space industry in terms of earnings, exports and employment for both upstream manufacturing and downstream services and applications

Key market opportunities were highlighted the IGT report: Satellite Broadband, Enterprise, Broadcast, Transport, Security and Environment

Required telecommunications satellite systems identified (e.g. Broadband, mobile, broadcast etc.)

Telecommunications – UK Capability

Telecommunications technology developments are the enablers to allow industry to build large programmes which give huge return multipliers on the technology investment

UK industrial strengths to be highlighted for the required telecommunications satellite systems:

System level (for turn-key satellite systems)

Subsystem level (e.g. Spacecraft Platforms, Payloads)

Equipment level (e.g. Avionics, High Power Amplifiers, Terminals)

Key UK capabilities and organisations will be identified

Telecommunications Research Themes

Individual programs have not been identified as the commercial telecommunications satellite market can provide a significant number of opportunities each year

Research themes have been identified based on maintaining and improving the competitiveness of the UK satcoms industry:

Increased telecommunications satellite capacity

Reducing cost to manufacturer, operator and user

Enabling new services and market opportunities

Flight opportunities for new technology development are required

Institutional, PPP and commercial prospects

Programmes on roadmaps

Collaborative programmes

Programmes that will lead to UK growth and exports

Balance of short, medium and long term growth

UK Priorities

Suggestions …..

Be open minded about the art of the possible

Think collaboration at all times

Don’t get hung up on other issues outside of the roadmapping process at this stage … e.g. legislation, definitions, etc

This process will be repeated
